Glad to hear it!

IOE should be fun, the only thing which occasionally gets people is visual approaches in a jet. Your 135 experience should help, but have some numbers and speed/configuration gates in your hip pocket for straight in and downwind visuals. Ask your IOE CKA on day one if they didn't give you that in training.

Also know how to configure and dive for the GP, slam dunks happen regularly and must be managed quickly with a jet.

Awesome news, I am so glad you overcame that obstacle and really appreciate your “happy ending” follow-up.
Cheers!

Congrats.
Stay away from ‘visual approaches’ during IOE.
That and don’t do anything stupid during your probationary year.

Damn, I'm in the same boat as you, but I haven't applied anywhere yet. I've got a good amount of jet time as FO in the 727, so I don't think I'll have the same problems hopefully.

I honestly feel I'm more capable now than I was when I went through training in my late 20's/early 30's. I definitely understand systems better than I did back then.

And congrats on passing. Glad to see you overcome the adversity. Good luck the rest of the way bud.
