Captain drag'n.

Congrats!
The first 100 hours after IOE suck and it gets easier.
Write down all the weird stuff in a notebook so you have your “tell me about a time” stories sorted out.

Congrats! I still put all my "weirdness of the day" stuff in my logbook and then when I fly with the same person again I'm reminded of whatever misadventure of the week we shared together. Or every now and then I scroll through some flights and go... oh yeah, not happening like that ever again.

The one prediction that came true for me was during my first 500 hrs or so I saw things on the plane that I hadn't ever seen in my career till then. ECAM's, situations... the whole gambit.

Have fun and enjoy the view from the left.
 
Skywest guys are cool. Except the most recent I had just went off on how AS sucks and the only thing good here is more pay than Skywest but that Skywest was the best airline he's ever flown for. The whole trip. And how he hates this company and as a result this job. I was this --------><--------- close to saying, "you know, Skywest is hiring........."

Weird. I like Alaska... they're definitely my first airline boyfriend, so to speak.

I'm the fat, nerdy dragon that nobody wants to dance with... but if Alaska ever called, I'd be there with bells on.
