Complacency is definitely a problem with the older guys that I’ve seen with my experiences in the past. But that’s not all of them.

Thrown right into SJU with multi leg redeyes in central america and the caribbean with another RATP guy at 1100TT.

So needlessly dramatic. This has been done many times before, every year young, low time pilots are becoming PICs in numerous types, to include 737s, A320s, regional jets, etc.

I don't think its dramatic at all. We are sending these new guys into challenging airports with 3 page memos and some pictures while they are at the worst performing point of their circadian rhythm. It isn't like they get a sim check and session dedicated to teaching them the issues and awareness for the airport or route.

Bro, chill. You didn't exactly "pay your dues."

Same team fellas... It's up to us as the pilot group to grow and help each other develop. It's up to the training department to train and hold the standard. So, grow where and when you can, and let the check airmen do their job.
