Dang, how did AA captains get so smart after hiring F/Os that couldn't handle the little things?

Heck, ride in a SWA cockpit... Captains there not only start the engines but handle the fuel control levers too!
Every airline has its differences. The AA cockpit culture has its issues but overall it’s a safe one. What I gather from these threads is that nobody likes change.

I know you’re tired of hearing the complaints. I get it, I’m tired of the constant whining about contract, management etc.
But I’ll add some you probably don’t see because you are a native:
-manuals
-scheduling practices, schedulers and systems(one carrier I know didn’t allow ACARS notification, for good reason)
-cockpit-cabin coordination
Hopefully project 2020 will do truly get the best.
Take care.
