Default Tricks of the trade

Anyone help me out.
Anything that would help me in Logbook pro now that I'm flying airlines. Currencies I haven't gotten down yet. Anything to help out.

Also anyone got trick of the trade that they'd like to share? Things that make the day go smoother or easier.

Don't let the little things bother you. Take everything in stride. Let it all roll off your back and just smile. Dress professionally. Act professionally. Be courteous to your captain, but don't put up with him giving you unnecessary sh** either.

Hope that helps.

Make friends with the dork in your new hire class. He will probably be chief pilot someday.

Man that's funny! And pretty accurate! He'll also usually have created some awesome study guide that will become standard gouge.

poke a fork in the yogurt before you open it, or at least open it away from your shirt/tie.

Don't drink at the hotel bar, and always pay in cash.

Don't be the first to look at the tab or the last to put your cash on the table.

If your company has those nifty leather jackets with the velcro name tags, get an extra tag that says "Joe's Garage - Joe".

If you are brave enough to date in the company be ready for ugly trips when it's time to move on.

Protect your hearing. That jet noise and APU scream adds up. You don't want to go deaf early.
