Narrative:

Upon arrival at seattle I proceeded to operations to obtain a new release for the leg to portland. Upon returning to the aircraft I asked my first officer what the clearance was. He save me his version, but failed to mention any speed restrictions. He was to fly the leg and seemed insulted that I would even ask him the question. Out of 1000' he accelerated to 300 KTS. Out of 13000' the controller advised us to resume normal speed. Where upon I asked the first officer if we had a speed restriction. He said yes, but offered no excuse, much less an apology. Then just prior to approach he was going to descend below his assigned altitude and got angry and surely again when I called it to his attention. This first officer had 1 1/2 yrs with the airline. He thinks he knows it all. We are seeing more and more of this. I believe the company is afraid to point out to new people that they have someone to answer to, for fear of infringing on civil rights. We line capts need some help in this area. Which I believe would greatly reduce altitude busts, excursions, etc. It is almost, if not impossible, to have a happy, willing crew if you have just one (cockpit or cabin) who needs help but won't accept it it creates tension, mistakes, etc and I don't need that in the cockpit. I flew both legs of the return trip to avoid any more errors with a first officer who was of no help to me what so ever.
