From: CR7 Capt
Default

I am very laid back and relax. However, being new and on rsv is very difficult. Every capt has a different way of doing things. I had this whole standard issue driven into my head by the training center but, it seems to be far from standard. Its different everyday. I have found that if I am flying with a capt that kinda has the attitude of the person a few posts back "I don't care what you do as long as I don't have to fill out an ASAP". That works well, I can be efficient, relaxed, and do a good job. If I am not sure about something I'll just ask. I can have a good time too. If I fly with someone who is intense and controlling, I have hard time finding the confidence to a good job. I cannot relax. I feel like no matter what button I touch the capt will say something that its wrong. As I get more comfortable in the plane it will probably help. The problem is that I cannot rely on a standard way to do anything. I try to do the best I can. I just kinda take as a learning experience of how to be the best possible captain that I could be someday. As a captain I'll think I how I felt as a newbie Fo and take that into account when managing the cockpit.
