Let's see... my 5 day 28 hr initial FO IOE trip included (looking back at logbook)...
Have fun!
- 2 RAs and 3 TAs
- 1 Windshear event
- 1 Deicing
- 1 Major thunderstorm
- 1 drunk/disruptive UAL 100K passenger that hit the captain when confronted after landing (he was subsequently pinned to the galley wall by the CA and arrested by the airport cops)
- several very bad landings by yours truly
- 1 crazy 18 hr overnight in Savannah, and a long crawl back to the hotel with the CA and I carrying the FA up the stairs from River Street
- 1 confused look
from me after getting taxi instructions for the first time at ORD to 32L@T10. - And one very happy brand new airline FO at all times during the trip!
Have fun!

These are great threads, because each story usually tops the last one. My OE on the 747 was about a year ago, and my checkride was into Singapore. In Singapore, ATC lights up the centerline of the taxiway to lead you to your parking position...very cool.
About 10 years ago at Brand X, the check airman took the whole crew to the red light district in Paris, he wanted to show us his favorite movie theater.
His favorite movie....."Canine Love". I thought the Flt Attd was gonna toss her crew meal.
As a continuing student and a former check airman, my advice on IOE...always pick up the bar tab.
Good Luck.

A four-day with a schizophrenic, metrosexual of questionable orientation whose mood changed literally by the minute- but he did buy 4 rounds of beers, which I initially thought was a test/trap.
The hardest landing that I have ever made (so far at least)- stemmed from an approach to a field that has an NDB only, at night, in haze with an MSA of 4,200' and a field elevation of 8' (sharply rising terrain in all quads except the NW) and 15KIAS shear between 300'-100'. Oh yeah, the Capt became 'incapacitated approx 20 miles from the field so your truly was operating as a single pilot.
