This is a great thread. I have ERJ training Jan-Feb. I’m going in there as a total noob to the industry and in full learning mode.
Although military trained, I’ve been out of the cockpit a long time and know I have to knock the rust off. I also know I have to learn to fly with a yoke instead of a stick, learn to use the latest FMS systems and displays in a glass cockpit, learn Jepp plates and civilian approaches, and do things the airline way. I’m going to memorize what I need to, prepare thoroughly, learn until I understand the why of things, cooperate to graduate with good CRM, practice over and over, and work my ass off. Failure is not an option.
