Sounds like you missed a great opportunity to turn your above average flying skills into an above average FO paycheck.

Money is great and all, but it doesn't do you any good if you end up in an early grave from stroking out on an overnight. I've done a babysitting gig. Quit not long after I got it.

I think you'd need to see what happened to understand my comment. There was a crew who stalled high in the flight levels who only marginally increased power, and pulled right back into the shaker multiple times. This was before the FAA advocated also reducing the AOA. What bothers me most about this incident was neither pilot EVER went full power.

PLEASE tell me you're not referring to 3701.....
 
Once I've follwed an Avanti pusher into KADS and went around because it seemed slower than C172 on final.
The next time as it was an UOE flight I instructed left 90* maintain altitude , then right 180 - continue I didn't hear traffic behind, so when the guy slow taxied off the active, we landed the A36. That's what I think the solution mjght have been.

Meh, I wouldn't call 4,000 hours A LOT. I'd call it enough for most types of operations. You can accumulate 4,000 hours pretty quickly, depending on what you do for a living.

But 4,000 hours with gaping holes in fundamentals? That's a problem, because those fundamental problems have been reinforced for 4,000 hours.

I was trying to figure out the best way to respond to that, and I think you've said it best here. We've all flown with those 4000+ hour types that just leave you scratching your head...

Sometimes you get those people who don't necessarily have 4000 hours, but rather 1 hour, 4000 times.

I'd just as soon not be told about someone's shortcomings ahead of time. Otherwise you might be looking for something that isn't there.

As a CFI I was often given the problem children to work with when others couldn't get through to them. I liked going into it without any prior knowledge so that I could make my own observations.
 
It was, "Hey, have you flown with XXXXXX?" followed by "If we can get you on a rotation with XXXXXX would you mind…"

EEEEEeeeeeeeee.. Nope.

I figure if a guy has some sort of issue, we have professional standards, a training department, line check airmen and "Carpet Dances", all quite convenient.

Amen. I've been warned about people who were, eh, let's say maybe a bit eccentric, but fine...more than once. Your opinions are your own, and you're entitled to them. But don't expect me to acquire them simply by the virtue of your say-so. And of course the reverse has happened, too...people I couldn't stand, but everyone else thought was ok. This is called, I believe, "being a human being". I shall judge no wine (or person, or pilot-person) until I've had a taste.

Not like that, you weirdoes.

I've done it once, but I'm still what I would consider the "FNG." I know enough to know that I still don't know enough. Been making a living flying now for 7+ years.

When I did it, or rather almost did it, it scared the crap outta me. I'm lucky to be here to talk about it, over beers in a dimly lit bar of course.

Same here, and had I been flying a less forgiving airframe my stupidity would have killed me and a plane load of people, and you all would have been totally justified in ripping my decision making to shreds. I still get the jitters when I think about that trip.
