Good luck with the initial. Like somebody said before, if you can fly one airplane you, basicaly, can fly them all. If you havent flown jets before you will find everything happens much faster. Day one in the sim you probally will forget to ask for the gear and flaps up until you come back down to your first level off altitude, but you will get the hang of it in no time. Im in Gulfstream 5 initial now and start sim tomorrow with a check ride on Friday, its amazing how the hawker is 1/4 the size of the G5 but the systems are much more complicated. Anyway have fun and goodluck. Back to the books!

Lear31, my first jet rating after 7.5 years with Mesaba. However got an eye opener at FL470 with a slight disruption that costed us about 1000 ft of altitude in a blink

And Blueridge, that has to be the funniest doggone avatar I have seen in sometime. My little girls aboslutely loved it!

It's amazing to note the difference in demeanor between the airline guys and corporate guys.

One of them seems to be happy with their job....

No, no, no....It's a crabcake appetizer, spinach salad, filet oscar, assorted sides, and a slice of cheesecake. Oh, and a nice bottle of wine. And the company (or the owner) is paying !

My favorite memories of my time at the airlines were getting to the hotel late at night and having dinner out of a candy machine...or walking to Denny's if I was lucky.
