Don't be afraid of visuals on IOE. Use vertical guidance of any kind, including advisory guidance when a slope is not available. This will help you to sharpen your visual skills to point where you will not even need it.

Once you finish IOE, fly one revenue trip to an outstation of your choosing and hand your captain your resignation letter.

You will have just gotten an ATP type rating in a CL-65 courtesy of the biggest **** suckers that ever counted beans since the dawn of aviation.

Enjoy.

We're in the process of voting on a tentative agreement that if passed, could severely effect the future and compensation of our pilots. If it doesn't im sure management will try to convince us that we're shutting down. Rah is hiring, offering a signing bonus, and has growth on the way (whether Usair and amr merge or not). That might mean more stability and obviously money. Sorry if I sound discouraging right before your big day, but you should know the facts. While youre there try to relax. They want to hire you, just don't give them a reason not to. Remember, in today's environment they need you much more than you need them. Good luck and try to have fun with it. PS, they probably will ask you why PSA, so have an answer prepared.
