I could outfly that lousy autopilot down an ILS any day of the week...and I was the non-professional! At least I can laugh about it now LoL

IAH is hard to get because nobody is leaving. I've had my bid in for a while and have a little less than 2 years seniority and still waiting.

Take the advice....show up, listen, take notes, ask questions & enjoy the experience. SkyW was the most fun I've had in this crazy career.
