I had to chuckle as I said " all our landings are full stops". As a former fighter guy I have to admit I benefited greatly from riding side saddle my first year, the regional guys have the airline flow down when they come here.
Reminds me of my first sim...I call glide slope intercept, gear, stop. My sim partner was retired C-17 guy and my instructor was a former RF-4 guy, both had a great laugh. I'll take that over getting crap from my the rest of my 4-ship on aux, when I answer a radio call with my airline name instead of flight callsign. That will be a shot at the next roll call.
