The main thing is to have enough perspective on airline ops to know when you need to pull out all stops, declare, divert, even land on I-405.
A new PIC will naturally be reluctant to take drastic (or even abnormal) action. With enough perspective and experience, you'll be confidant in your knowledge that the time has arrived, and you can get on with what has to be done without second guessing yourself.
'Cuz we all know that particular turd will hit the fan on the first trip off IOE... BTDT.

It can be frustrating to see an FO trying to do all "my" stuff when they cannot or will not do their own duties. Dont get me wrong, FO wants to do everything and double check the important stuff- Great! But they gotta have the goods to back it up or else the whole thing goes to crap

I'm talking more about the small stuff. Approaching the gate they don't need to ask me to start the APU. Did I forget to turn the seat belt sign off? "hey poser, mind if I let them up?" Do it! Switch not in the right position for normal flight? Fix it. Just let me know... That's all I ask.
