I had no idea how to read flica and in my defense everyone told me we only did American flying out of ORD and there was a departure on our metal at the same time to the same destination on American. Got a call from scheduling 35 minutes prior asking where I was and then I was "that guy" running across ORD to the United terminal.

The LCA was really cool and told me to slow down, it didn't matter we were already late. The flying part went real well and we shot the shiz pretty much the whole time. I think I made him too comfortable because I tried for my best carrier landing and he had to intervene. Whoops. Day two consisted of heavy snow in ORD and my first time landing on 9L. I had absolutely no idea where I was on the taxi diagram and completely butchered the read back ...a few times. I feel like the training did a real good job preparing me for the line, but the sim sure lands nothing like the actual plane.
