Most of these were from February indoc classes before they scaled back the class size slightly, but they're cranking through a good number.

I start indoc at AA on 17 April. I'm a prior military airlift guy with no 121 experience. I could use some tips on how to do well as an FNG. I just want to be a good FO and bloom where I'm planted. Any advice appreciated!

Thank you!

Keep the good attitude you obviously already have. AA is not going to spoon feed you info like the Military does. Be humble, give your training for 6 short weeks the same effort you gave in UPT and you’ll have no problems. It ain’t rocket science.

So I take it you were a Marine? The userid is my hint.

I felt way more spoon fed at AA than in the Air Force. It’s very much a gentleman’s course.

Ditto. If you do your part you’ll be just fine.
I think I’ve been through six full courses between US Air & AA.

The training is slow-paced and very easy. The hardest part for you may be OE and learning the ground ops at busy hubs. Your CKA will show you the ropes. Don't stress!

Slowmover,

Check your PM.

On the plus side, you'll do 4 (I think it's 4) jumpseat observations before you start OE. You'll at least get to see the ramp/company operations.

Thanks for the advice!
