Nice job manning up av8tr.
When I was a check airman @ my last job, I had a CA that had a bad day on a line check. Then he had a bad day in the sim. Re-checked and passed. I had to give him his 'back to the line' line check. We met early and BS'd for a while before doing a quick DTW-AZO turn. Just told him I'd be a good F/O for him. He knew he had to pass or it was his job but I never mentioned that to him. Guy did great. Most of us standards guys never want to see anyone wash out or fail. Unfortunately there are some guys that are given a position of authority and really abuse it. This is one of the best threads I've read in a while. Lots of support for you pal. Good luck with the rest of your airline career.

I did alright on the retake. I checked the outside distracions at the door and am now catching up immensely.
The other night I was so lost that I started to wonder if I had completely missed the boat during training. I was asked to turn the auto pilot off and hand fly a non-precision. My instrutor said I flew well for raw data but he wanted the flight guidance on, lol. This is where my problems started. I found out that I was totally cluless about the flight guidance system. I understood the theory but it was the application that I struggled with.

PS. Either I have good memory or am about to look like an ass but I'm pretty sure Av8tr is a woman. A lot of people keep saying he, him, the dude, etc. Just an FYI. Lets hope later I don't owe and apology.
