Congrats Beech,

I've never flown with you and this is not directed at you.

I take it you've been given a class date that's been moved up. The training is first class. If you've been flying 121 in any capacity you'll have a blast. Really a fun and first class experience.

New Hire Unsolicited Advice:

Stop that Vertical Speed RJ crap and just push the frikin' button. Then the other button right away. Then pull back a little when you see the other guy wince and don't heat the brakes up.

Ignore what you've been taught in training and don't select Autobrakes Low every landing because that worked in the Sim and OE . Try Manual brakes and full reverse. Let it roll out to the next high speed.

No Drama.

Let the airplane manage the profile. After a while... (when your employee number gets higher than the Dow Jones Average) hand flying a vertical speed constant angle of descent from 380 to 6000 (for the pax comfort) won't seem so important to you to prove you are an aviator.

We get you RJ guys are all awesome stud jet pilots. Younger and studlier than us.

PS

You will never be as good a stick as you used to be.

Ever.

Welcome Aboard!
