I disagree with this^^. I believe that as a professional, if you see someone doing something procedurally incorrect, you have the right and even obligation to bring it up in a non-threatening, constructive and polite way. Do I have an issue if the guy does the FMS preflight in the wrong order if everything gets done? No. If he is doing something wrong because there is a new change in the book that he hasn't seen yet, I will point it out. There are many cases where I have seen both senior and junior guys "instruct" who were not paid as instructors. That makes us all better pilots.

Instructing is something different. FOs here aren't "nuggets" or fresh out of flight school.

Well . . . .. the problem with the above statement is SOME airports now require ALL departures to be flown using the Autopilot. For instance: Our Flight Crew Operations Manual states that all RNAV departures in the United States will be flown using the autopilot. It's encouraged for all departures.
This in no way means I disagree with the stick and rudder skills required. However, I do think there is a time and a place to use them.

The interview gouge here was all spot on. The essay question was explaining Mach tuck, causes, and recovery. Only curve ball HR question was "brief the crew for your first departure flying the line with the company about what CRM issues might be peculiar/relevant to you."

That is not a trick question...they really are trying to figure that out.
Nah, just kidding...good to hear that this thread is still relevant. And that is due to you all helping each other...I've said all the important stuff that I could come up with several hundred pages ago!!
Good luck...
