This... not to mention as a new, just-off-IOE FO you've probably flown with some awful captains... who somehow made it past upgrade... there are good and bad pilots in the airlines regardless of their flying background and supposed "qualifications" and it's up to all of us in the industry to step our game up to the next level so that when we get a "bad" crewmember we can handle it and it doesn't turn into a disaster..
