Sounds like someone who couldn't fly anyway..... A/P is a useful tool, to be sure, and I use it a lot, but handflying once in a while is nice too!!!

My old (and maybe future company.......) had a limitation on the A/P of 50 feet! Cat 3.

Anyway, back to the point!

-Follow your profiles
-Be humble - ready and enthusiastic to learn
-If you get confused, go back to the checklists, flows and profiles you were trained. That training is there for a reason.
-Never be arrogant. Ever. But especially in the beginning.
-Be polite to all ground personnel.
-Fly visual approaches conservatively, more like an ILS. You can 'chop and drop' later.
-LIGHTEN UP!!! HAVE FUN! THIS IS WHY YOU DID ALL THAT CRAP IN THE CESSNA, ISN'T IT?!?!?!
