This should be thread should be retitled..."eat your own"
Unimpressed with these stories and do not represent the younger pilots I encounter every day. We have the highest mins to get hired in the industry, we DO have line pilots screening new hire applicants. The new hires I fly with have been second to none, and they seem to be proud to be a FedEx pilot.
I debrief more Captains worried about the printer paper being torn with the approved paper tearing apparatus to its smallest size, micromanaging the flight deck than I care to count. I could give 2 sh!ts on how skinny your pants are. We are really good at treating our new hires like Second Lieutenants, straight out of basic pilot training.
Back to your regularly scheduled reply of bitterness, self centered narcissist rants...and flaming of your fellow FedEx pilots.

Obviously a checklist isn't going to hurt anyone, FO overreacted with the ridiculous complaint, but it speaks volumes about the type of CA.

The 3 x old dudes stood near the front desk and talked while they checked out, while Zhe stood off to the side and alone, gender excluded. Unsure if a formal complaint was filed on Zer behalf, so I filed one out moral responsibility.
This is it, boys. I don't want to live in Clown World. It's just not funny anymore.
Who's the snowflake here? Sounds like you.

I see you had no complaints on their performance on the flight deck.
I try not to judge others but you come across a a class a prick.

Way to take care of your crew. Way to go mentoring and looking out for others.

Our current management team also has no desire to create a mentoring program of any type. We are behind the 8 ball already having hired so many in such a short amount of time. Mentor programs have proven effective at other places and help set reasonable expectations of the new hire and for the new hire. Good for all, not something management seems to be wanting.

I heard the story of a 767 Captain that had issue with which of the two laminated checklist the FO used. Where do we get these old dudes (from a semi old dude)?
This job is just too easy. Why does everyone, young and old, try to make it difficult?
