Might as well call yourself 747 Captain if you're just gonna pick a name that *might* describe you in the future..

Here's some "advice"; Plan on using your memory, a lot. Also remember "comply and get by".

Don't worry, working at PDT will beat that optimism right out of you.

Have a good attitude. They'll work with you if you want to be there.

Good luck

Training is as hard as you make it out to be. Come prepared and study. Take it seriously and you'll do fine. Thousands of idiots- I mean pilots- have made it through airline training events (this idiot included). If we can do it, so can you.

If you haven't seen the "playing the game" article that was published in the ALPA mag a few years back, it's a good read for somebody starting their first airline gig.

I have not seen that article, I'll look for it. I'm def going to take it serious but I was wondering if there is any downtime for social stuff? Been to NC a few times but would like to check it out more if the schedule allows.

Wow! That article is great for a pilot in any organized training program. I have experience with only one formal airline level training event so far, but I certainly wish I had this article then.

Dsh8 pilot good luck on the training! I am interviewing shortly at PDT and hopefully I will be following in your (successful) footsteps.
