Happy to buy a beer once in a while, especially for a bro, but didn't know there were certain "rules" for FO or Capt. I don't know the guy or his hire date, that's why I was asking him. Again, was just curious.

I was just pointing out that on the augmented crews...if the Captain isn't out with you, it's great if the other FO picks up the slack and treats the half winger.

By tradition...I meant half wingers not having to buy beer during their first year. Many half wingers have never had to pull their wallets out on an overnight....or that's how it used to be.

I certainly never expected it and always offered to pay, but I think I bought 1 or 2 meals my entire first year at United. The EWR 320 guys were very generous in that regard. It certainly has inspired me to do the same when I'm in that position. Either way, welcome to all the new guys! I wish you all a great career here.
