The nice thing about youth is being so very sure you're correct. You might find that once you give up your anger and accept the situation, with the proper attitude you could learn something from those "bitter old captains" turns out they have a whole wealth of knowledge. The sooner you stop thinking they're "bitter old captains" and realize they just MIGHT know something more than you (shocking I know b/c you're 20 and know it all) the sooner you might be able to EARN their respect. It's a two way street, you don't respect them- surprise they don't respect you either. It's possible you'll still ride with some a-holes, I have but at least if you're trying to respect him and he just isn't respecting you, you took the high road and you can tell your fiance what a jerk he was when you get home.
Just my two cents, best of luck to you.
Ok ill try to address everything here.
First off patronizing my life experiances and college degree as less than your own does not help me look at your argument as logical and doing that all while calling me immature is a bit rediculous.
Im 20 so im automatically immature? After all this talk of not generalizing and you make that statement? And i didnt say anyone was immature i said they were ACTING immature. Why does this have to turn childish?
You can disagree with me if you like, thats your right. I have not generalized all captains into this "bitter old captain" stuff i was talking about so dont take that wrong. And absolutely they do have a wealth of knowledge...If you just simply look back a few posts my argument was that they stop being angry at that guy in the right seat for being young and lucky and start helping him become a pilot that you could respect.
I do not think i know it all haha, you must have a child around my age. You have me all wrong, i have read on these forums day in and day out people saying stuff like the wet-atp-wonders or play pilots or any of the others take your pick, and i am tired of seeing it so i made a comment on it.
20 years old or not my logic is dead on that it is plain silly to generalize all young pilots into a group that does not know what they are doing. Just like it is silly to generalize all captains into a group of bitter old guys. Granted we do not know everything because alot can only come from experiance that is where the captains come in, but some of us deserve the spot we sit in and some of us are plenty good enough.
I am not angry with you or anyone plesae dont take it that way.
