Know the Captain's:
Flows, Briefs, cockpit setup, be knowledgable of your companies FOM and familiarize yourself with the aircraft systems. One of the hardest things I have observed for some is make the transition from the doer to the leader. i.e. let the FO do their job and you do yours run the cockpit.

And on a serious note, NOT to pipe on, but it can’t ALL be read in books......
And as mentioned Like a lot of others, I learned a lot sitting FO during the “dark decade”. Watching/observing the CA’s I liked/dislike. ALWAYS being apprectiative of the CA’s that helped mentor me all along as well as before going to upgrade.
But I learned A LOT MORE after I upgraded.

An alternate theory holds that life itself is a giant simulator, with those hard knocks being the abnormals and emergencies given us by the Great Instructor. Some day the motion will be turned off and we will debrief.

It's a rough simulated life.
