New to the Line
 

I just completed my IOE. What's next? I ask because I M new to 121 world? :)

You must get consolidated, and learn a new skill; becoming a Chameleon, to adapt to each CA you fly with. You will no longer have nice lines that your check airman had, and you will be thrown on your own to the crew schedulers.
Captains will expect you to know what you are doing, and not all of them will be in a teaching kind of mood. If you are a constant f@&k up, you will be without a job.

Absorb as much as you can from the CAs you fly with and over time you will take bits and pieces of people's techniques and form your own. Different pilots have different styles or "mantras" when it comes to this job. You'll figure yours out.

We have many of FOs here who are just along for the ride. They don't know how to print releases outside of base and don't do it in base. They never program the FMS (probably because they don't know how) and when they do it isn't complete. They don't check fuel or weather, verify your FMS setup is correct or cross check anything when running the checklist. And they don't look at the maintenance can. You could put crazy numbers in the box, not take fuel and have an non-airworthy aircraft and they wouldn't notice as long as the captain acted like everything was fine. Plus you have to spend the entire four day like a goalie blocking all the mistakes coming your way. Work on being a crew member instead of just another seat fill. Flying single pilot is tiring.

Also, learn to talk on the radio correctly.

What others say is mostly true. There are pilots at Mesa that are ****ed off, don't take it personal. My suggestion is to read your contract, your CFM and GOM when you can't sleep at the hotels, take advantage of free breakfasts. If you don't know ask. Don't be afraid to ask questions even if they seem silly.

'whyvee' is correct about work on being a crewmember and not a warm body to fill the seat.

Congrats on passing training, welcome aboard.

Congrats! How was training?

Training was good. I enjoyed the learning in every aspect. From INDOC to IOE. Hotels were great, even the Best Western at Tempe,,,,,,lol. :)

As a just retired 32 year (last week) LLC guy. The above post is correct and it is correct for the majors as well! Dave
