Hense (did I spell that right...lol), my assertion that when the Capt and FO expect the FO's job, to be "CAPT in training, and provide the ability to polish the skills needed to command someday, real world two man crew experiance is where it is at. I was trained from private through Comm by a CFI that is a Capt for a 135 outfit, and I guess I subscribe to his theories. He believes that even in a 747, with 10's of thousands of hours experiance, every pilot should treat every day as an OPPORTUNITY for learning and to polish himself, mabye thats Old school, but its how I think, because its how I was trained. I have always told every capt I flew with for the first time, To think of me as a "Capt in Training", and any little bit of knowledge you are willing to impart to me while we are working together, I am willing to absorb, and the feedback I get from them has always seemed positive, I dont think they thought they were having to play flight instructor....
