Ha! I got a limo ride (booze was locked up, damn them) with my classmates and scab "facilitator" to the puzzle palace in IAH. Had to buy lunch at the Subway in the lobby and wolf it down while getting a weak "Thanks for upgrading" speech from Elmer Fudd..... Starley and then watch a 25 min PowerPoint on how much it costs to carry Add fuel around. (Note to self: add gas when I deem it prudent and don't single-engine taxi for safety reasons)

Then get marched around to the various departments where we get specific "talking points" about being new 737 Capt's. MX control tells us how much each retractable landing light motor costs (16k) and how we can prolong its life if we use it sparingly. (Note to self: use all available illumination devices for safety reasons)

Scheduling supervisor gives us their "top 10 list" of stupid pilot tricks on reserve. Etc.

Didn't even get a free t shirt at the company store.
