Sad to say but I agree 100%. All the so called bottom feeders and getting more money thrown at them or signing contracts with improvements (Other than the 4-12, which I think SkyWest is trying to push on us) But it's hard to say what is going on in negotiations since our pilot leadership is scared to tell the pilots what's going on. Which I don't blame them since we have no legal protection from disciplinary action.

I have my first 121 oral this weekend. I have all my limitations and memory items down solid... And my system knowledge is good (I know what 99% of the buttons do, when certain lights come in etc)

I've always sucked at orals... Can I get some general advice for my first 121 oral?

It is likely airline dependent. My advice is to talk to people at your airline. I can tell you about my oral, but it might be totally different than what someone else would do.

If you don't know the answer, do not be afraid to say so. It's worse to say something wrong as a fact and start digging yourself a hole. It's better to say I'm not quite sure but I know where to look it up and then ask to look it up

be humble and teachable, but above all carry a smile, a good attitude, and be personable. Do that and you will be fine.

The approach we were taught was to know what each button does or what each MFD indicates, when to use it, what powers it, what does it do in normal operation, abnormal, and emergency.

That depends on who the POI is. Some have an ax to grind.

The instructor will know more than you. They will ask questions you don't know the answer to. Don't sweat it, press on.
