So what "strong" union do you belong to Wheels Up? Have you run for an LEC, MEC position? Or are you just one of those blowhards in the cockpit who complains about everything but does nothing to change his lot?
And newsflash, there's a difference between mentoring and being a full time instructor. If you are afraid of mentoring your FO's than you aren't helping the industry out at all. I've been flying for 22 years and I still ask Captains questions about techniques, etc., if I see them doing something I like or don't. Evolution couldn't work if we didn't learn from our predecessors.
