The guys with low time really don't have the responsibility like you think they might. When there is a guy 4 months off IOE who still has under 1000 hours, they're helping out here and there but trust me the Captains really have the instructor hat on and feel the weight of the responsibility. I applaud you for waiting till you're ready and you'll be better up front the day you decide to do it. But when it's crudy out, I find the new guys are just busy doing their normal day-to-day tasks of getting atis, setting speeds etc and most don't have the "big picture" yet of our fuel status, available alternates etc...Just lack of experience at that point, they'll improve though.
