Left seat of 757 first IOE. Thought I was done flying with scabs, but lo and behold, a scab LCA shows up. Didn't talk much that IOE, came off the guppy/Shuttle, so didn't need much instruction.

Right up to the point we were over BOS rt downwind over the airport at 8,000 ft, and the controller says, "I don't believe it UAL, you're #1, cleared for the visual, 4R, keep it in tight." Mind you, 8,000 over the airport.

I thought that scab was going to suck up the seat cushion, major but crawl in the seat! I had fun, but him, not so much! Rolled out on final, 500', on speed, on glide path...
