Most FOs upgrading as soon as they have 950 or 1,000 hours or whatever it is just don’t know what they don’t know. And most haven’t spent a ton of time flying and learning and more importantly, paying attention to senior Captains. Many of our “senior” CAs now may only have 1,500 - 2,000 hours in the left seat. Many of our Checkairman only have 500-1,000 hours in the left seat in some cases.

Hours spent in a particular seat aren’t necessarily indicative of a pilot’s abilities to learn and perform as expected but in many cases there simply is no substitute for experience.
Yeah I feel more like a flight instructor than the captain of a crew most trips these days...
