The best thing about the Dornier 328... ACARS was off the door and the parking brake. Load up, close the door. Do the paperwork, then hand it out of the hamburger hole located right beside the captain's knee. Out on time, and didn't have to rush to get the paperwork done!

its an airplane, fly's like one also...however, you'll probably arrive at your destination on the first day, and mentally still be on the ramp at your departure city. You'll also be amazed at how fast the capt. wants you to get the airplane ready to turn again...atleast i was....believe he said...
"we're going to pushing back in 10 minutes."
to which i responded....
"no, we're not."
and him.
"oh yeh, we are...whether you're ready or not."

BTW, the Honeywells are junk, as is the Universal... the only decent FMS i've used on an RJ is the Collins 4200- now that's a nice unit.

Your first day, you'll take off get half way there, and your @ss will still be back on the runway. It's perfectly normal, everyone goes through it. About your 2nd or 3rd day, you'll find your way into the airplane. You'll also have a blast, just remember fly standard, the IOE Captain will tell you what you need to know as you go.
And one more thing, good luck with the slam dunk approaches, I know you don't practice them in the sim. Don't be affraid to use the speed breaks, they're there for a reason. Have fun and learn a lot, it will come with time.

Yeah, when I was a new hire at ASA back in '98, I did E-120 IOE out of DFW and Chris Avery kept trying to get me laid by the F/A's.. none of whom where attractive mind you! That guy was a riot!
