EWR, I hope I get to fly with more captains like you.

I've been doing this for a few months now, which isn't very long. However in that time I've seen good and bad. Being new, I'm still trying to figure out the most efficient way to do some things and still be within the SOP. I ask a lot of questions. I really like it when a captain gives advice.

I'm also not huge on captains that don't talk. The ones that turn the intercom off and grab the paper right at 10,000ft on every leg. On long legs this can make for what seems like hours. The only two things I won't talk about up front are religion and politics. It only takes once to realize it's not a good idea.
