Also, as soon as you have access to the "Memory Items" and "Limitations" for the aircraft you'll be flying, memorize them as soon as possible and practice them every day. You'll need to know them for the rest of your time spent on that particular airplane, so you might as well get a head start on them.

Once in simulator training, know the procedures COLD. No hesitation on any Profile. Know the callouts and Profiles as if your life depended on them. It might, and your job will.

Feel free to ask away on talk airline dot com (as well as here).

Good luck to the both of you, and see you on the line.
