I agree with some of you saying to get out and experience, 135 charter, a little cargo, fly some turboprops.... I do tell myself i have all the time in the world to get to a regional and how i don't NEED to go right after college. how i should live in the caribbean flying drugs (j/k)
I feel like that would be awesome, but at the same time I do have the opportunity to go to a couple regionals. why not? I'll be honest, I'm a little confused on what to do...

I would let you bounce in the pattern or shoot some approaches if it looks like your not hanging onto the tail. Nothing personal.. you're just so new you don't even know what to be afraid of yet. We'd land and you wouldn't even know what just happened. The 1,500 hour pilots that come to fly with us are pretty much useless for the first couple of months(6-7).
I definitely appreciate this post here.... I think you're right, but of course I want to give it a whirl, now. haha. Your point is understood, though.
Maybe its just the awesome uniform i get to wear when I'm finally an almighty "AIRLINE PILOT"
