QFE. Do this, and you'll be fine. One guy in my class was panicking because his IOE instructor was constantly chewing his butt (not a good thing) and this guy was a pretty sharp but cocky kind of personality. The first piece of advice I gave him was to shut his mouth and EVEN IF HE DISAGREED with the instructor, to simply acknowledge what he said and do his best to implement what the instructor said. I also told him to ask questions "how would you do this..." and "what do you think about _____"

Lo and behold, things went perfectly fine from there.

The best/worst show in aviation. Its where one gets to demonstrate their skills for the better or worse. The real job is like a game of 52 pickup, organizational skills are tested on every leg, some do an outstanding job and some flounder when the script gets mixed up. Most do just fine.

For example, there are some peope who get all flustered in the "real" airplane on the line--typically the know-it-all types who are on APC giving advice to everyone before they even finish their checkride (cough cough, DeltaJuliet, cough cough).

Sorry, I try to keep it limited to the training department since I'm going through that now. But I'll cool it. Just excited to be here.

Challenging to say the least.

Yawn, this thread has gotten boring.

Just saw one of the fattest pilots ever at ORD. Go figure he was a Mesa new hire FO.
