If anyone is interested in a different option in sailing the Caribbean then Chartering feel free to drop me a note via pm. We have a few pilots interested in a high end monohull with 4 to 5 partners. The boat would not be chartered and only for partner use.

PSA: Capts, with all of the hiring going on, when you fly with a fng and they do a good job, please fill out the probation critique. Furthermore, if you fly with one and think they don't, please address this on the spot. Don't tell them what a nice job they did and sack them on the report. Not cool! That is all.
Then again, he also felt the need to coach me through every descent and approach for 4 days despite the fact that I have twice the amount of time on the Mad-Dog that he does....
Hopefully there's a vetting process of some sort for these critiques.

Recently flew with a guy who freely admitted to being "as critical as possible" on his probation critiques. His reasoning was that, by being as critical as possible, he was giving the company the best opportunity to evaluate it's new hires.

I don't know what else happens to the comments unless there's an issue that needs to be addressed, but I appreciated reading them though personally I think most Capts are reluctant to be critical.
Some examples from mine:
"Of all the new first officers I've flown with, he is definitely one of them."
"Shows up to most flights. Often on time."
"Amazing customer engagement. Ensured they were kept informed by responding to radio calls on the PA."
During my midphase CPO newhire meeting, the CP went through the ratings and comments with me. No names attached, just the raw grades and comments grouped by grading area.

I never had mine reviewed. Of course I don't recall a meeting with the CPO either, I guess I got lost in the mix.
I've slipped through that screen by ordering extra nametags with the names of the pilots in my class with higher SSNs. So far, I've jumped seven seniority numbers!
