What he said. The instructors know that many of you are new new hires, and they know what to look for. They want you to pass as much as you yourselves want to pass. They will work with you to help you out if you fixate or mis-scan some other way. Try to relax and enjoy the process.

The first Sim is usually a major goat rope, so don't let it get to you. Typically, every sim thereafter is an improvement.

Maybe I will even get IOE in Memphis to really accelerate it--I just have to remember to bring about a gallon of water per day.

The flightdeck cools down fast! Spits ice at you after awhile!!

if memory serves. feather #2 and go HP bleed. should keep you pretty cool on the ground. course' those airplanes have probably logged another 20,000 hrs since i flew them at AE. might not work as well as it used to.

Anyone else in the Aug. 13th class?

you have alot to learn, after a year of that flying you'll sing a different tune

if a new hire is assigned the crj, what are the chances of later down the road just upgrading to crj ca? i know that now you upgrade to the saab, but would this ever be a possibility later down the road (2 years)

do other regionals have the ca upgrade to the smaller equip first?
