My first flight was a pre-dawn departure out of RIC headed for PIT...Check Captain gave me the first-leg. It's funny - I never felt nervous, never got the pins-and-needles, just felt confident and very excited...I didn't even get stuck behind the aircraft.
My humbling came with all the 121 procedures: working two radios, coordination with company/operations, ramp-control, etc...Captain must have gotten a kick out of me behind my back
