Read Fate is the Hunter by Gann if you haven’t. Some ideas and philosophies for being a pilot then and now are outdated. Example, get a seniority number and hold on it. (Think we are done w mergers in the big leagues. Worked well for the Air Tramp pilots.) Also, 4 day follies by Pilot X. Skydrol should never be used as body wash... as far as the advice about Fas/drinking and hote bars. It’s all really good.

Remember TEM from the moment you check in until you Check out. I’m guilty of it all... started at a regional when I was 23 so it was just a continuation of college for me. Played ball in college and Jersey Chasers were ducks on pond... times are different since then as well. Reason it’s a 12 hour rule at most regionals instead of 8. I have no problem going out w the crew on overnights. But, I’ve seen how it’s done right and how it’s gone epically bad. Most majors have fixed this issue for you now. Different hotels different crews. Okay, I could go one forever. I’ll leave you w this last one...
DO NOT TELL people at a bar you’re a pilot. If it slips you work for Delta... My go to after meeting Balzer in my Jump. I know.. pre merger... Come up w a story. Mine is Used Furniture Insurance Salesmen so don’t poach it. Have it perfected!
If you’re responsible and don’t try and put shady moves behind the company you will be aces. Stay off their radar if you’re gonna be a cowboy.
