AIR CARRIER FIRST OFFICER LAMENTS THE JUNIORITY AND LACK OF ADHERENCE TO REGULATIONS OF SOME CAPTAINS THAT SHE FLIES WITH.

Narrative

CAPT CHOSE TO IGNORE TAXI LINES AND TAXIED THROUGH MULTIPLE DEICE PADS. DAY'S ARPT PAGE CONTAINS A NOTE TO AVOID ALL DEICE PADS; EVEN WHEN VACANT. AS SOON AS WE EXITED THE RWY AFTER LNDG; CAPT ENTERED A DEICE PAD AS A SHORTCUT WHILE I WAS DOING MY AFTER LNDG FLOW. I 'CLRED RIGHT;' VERIFYING NO TFC ON MY SIDE. THEN I COMMENCED MY FLOW WITHOUT PAYING SPECIAL ATTN TO WHERE THE CAPT WAS TAXIING. I HAD NEVER FLOWN WITH THIS CAPT; AND I DID NOT REALIZE THAT HE WOULD CHOOSE TO IGNORE SUCH AN ELEMENTARY REG (OBEYING TAXI LINES). ON OUR WAY BACK OUT FOR DEP; HE DID THE SAME THING. HE CUT ACROSS DEICE PADS AS A SHORTCUT TO OUR RWY. I TOLD HIM I DID NOT THINK WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE TAXIING THROUGH THE DEICE PADS. HE ASKED ME WHY I THOUGHT THAT! I TOLD HIM THERE WAS A NOTE (THE ONE AND ONLY NOTE) ON THE ARPT PAGE AGAINST SUCH TAXI. HE LAUGHED AND SAID; 'WHOOPS.' THIS PARTICULAR CAPT HAS BEEN WITH OUR COMPANY FOR ONLY 1.5 YRS. HE APPEARED SEVERELY INEXPERIENCED. THIS IS THE ONLY RPT I FELT NECESSARY TO FILE; BUT IT DOES NOT MEAN IT WAS MY ONLY PROB WITH THIS CAPT. I CLOSELY MONITORED HIS ACTIONS; AND I HAD TO VOICE CONCERN OVER MANY OF HIS REG-RELATED DECISIONS. FORTUNATELY; HE DID TAKE MY CONCERNS INTO ACCOUNT AND CHANGE HIS COURSES OF ACTION MOST OF THE TIME. I HAVE BEEN WITH THIS REGIONAL AIRLINE FOR OVER 4 YRS. I AM FLYING WITH EXTREMELY JUNIOR CAPTS WHO APPEAR TO LACK THE JUDGEMENT REQUIRED OF THEIR POSITION. WHILE SOME OF THESE PLTS ARE KNOWLEDGEABLE; THE MAJORITY OF THEM DO NOT FULLY UNDERSTAND THE AIRPLANE OR RESPECT THE REGS. FLYING FO TO THESE LESS-EXPERIENCED CAPTS PUTS ME IN A VERY DIFFICULT POSITION. MANY OF THEM ARE OVERLY SELF-CONFIDENT AND AGGRESSIVE WITH THE AIRPLANE. I WAS FORTUNATELY THAT THIS CAPT AT LEAST HEARD ME OUT AND RE-EVALUATED HIS ACTIONS (ALBEIT TOO LATE WHEN TAXIING THROUGH THE DEICE PAD). MANY CAPTS DO NOT PUT ANY VALUE IN FO'S CONCERNS.
