Been a bit busy lately but now I have a few mins to sit and give the old update. My wife just got here for a couple weeks and we were out seeing the sights.

I'm 8 flights into IOE and things so far have still been great. My checkrides were with a couple of the tough ones we all hear about but they went ok too. The airplane flies very nice and the cabin crew treats us well. Of course I will not have them for very long as we only do pax flights during training then it is off to our freighter duty. My next trip is a freighter though so that will be cool. I'll get back to the good old USA for a couple days in ANC and JFK.

I keep waiting for the horror stories to come true but so far even with the tough guys it has been pretty laid back. My biggest problem now is my allowance stockpile is taking a big hit at the ladies market with my wife in town!
