However, you just reinforced my point. Playing PIC and being PIC are completely different. Yeah, you can learn a lot by "being part of the process" but you learn a lot more being the decision maker at the end of the process. Whether the FO came up with the plan or not...they did not make the decision to execute the plan.
Ok, and to a degree I can agree with with you are saying, but you can not discount that process either, My opinion is that a weak captain at 2000+ hours is the result of an FO that was flying 121 under weak captains. Mabye I just have a military type mindset when it comes to how I personaly define my duties as an FO in 121 flying.
