The flightdeck of a 121 airline is not the place to learn to fly. At 250 hours you are lucky that you know how to start your 172 by yourself. The captain is not supposed to be a flight instructor. Get your instructor rating and use it then you will understand what I am saying. It is hard enough trying to keep your students from killing you, there is no need to take 50-76 people along for the ride.
