the sim is almost useless for flying the line. the hardest thing is landings. just remember to stay on the glideslope, and keeps scanning from airspeed to GS and back. on visuals throw in a glance at the runway every other scan

Thanks a lot guys. It's been an interesting ride. I can't wait to get to the airplane for IOE. I'm sure it flies differently than the sim.

Congrats and welcome aboard.

Why so slow? I just came off the 1900, it was 248 to the marker or a slap across the back of the head from the captain for wasting time. You tend to be quick when only getting paid block.

Before I have some kid from Riddle explain this, I am kidding I know why so slow.

Congrats on the ride!

I of course had a lot of critique for myself, but on the whole, it wasn't bad. I didn't blow anything. I went around on the no-flap landing because I thought I was eating up too much runway before touching down. The checkairman told me he thought I'd have been fine, but he applauded me for getting out of a situation I didn't want to be in. Came back around to a longer runway and landed fine. So now, bring on the LOFT. I'm ready for a little relaxation and normalcy.

Congrats! Remember the only thing you should be worrying about was counting on yourself, not some yahoos on an internet forum. You did well because you were ready! And who really cares what we think?!
