Well OJ all sounds great...BUT, I bet your book says that teaching the FO stuff is part of your job, and molding them into a Captain is part of your job too! Also, nothing is better than a nice landing!
You sound like a passenger when you say that nothing beats a nice landing.
Allow me to mentor you, sometimes a safe landing is not a nice landing. Now, go run and tell your friends.

My job as a captain is teaching the subtleties of a new aircraft and oddities of local ATC. I am not here to teach basic airmanship.

I respect your experience, seriously. What about a Captain that stalls an airplane into the ground, is he or she considered equal in flying ability?

Can we please not turn this into a fighting match? There is bad apples that come and go at every airline known to man. Comparing paychecks from mine to yours is like saying my dad can beat up your dad; good for those guys making more than me/us. I also don't happen to use flying as my sole source of income so if we really wanna play that game..... Let's just keep this on track.

That captain flew at Gulfstream before Colgan.
Gulfstream is perfect for people that want to play "airline pilot" as a hobby. It sounds like it's a good fit for you. You will be in class with pilots like archer that no one else wants. Gulfstream has staffed like this for years.
