There was a guy at Freedom on the 900 who had, I think, 108 hours of IOE before they let him go. Nice guy, just behind the airplane all the time.

Realize your first trip in IOE you'll feel like your sitting in the Aft Lav on take-off and you'll do fine. Very rarely do any non-121 folks grasp their first or second legs and are ahead of the plane.

Visual approaches: listen up and ask questions of the guy you're flying with even after IOE. ATC will assume you can read their minds, and that's going to get you in trouble.

Most of all, have fun and don't pull the thrust levers to idle at 50' in a 700. Just not a good thing.
