You're on the right track. Just keep plugging away at it, fly as much as you can, and let the timing thing work itself out.

1998 pilot survey. I still remember this page well since I was just starting high school 9th grade:

If it ain’t a Boeing, I’m not going. No choice.
I wrote a couple of articles for that magazine in 2003-2004 timeframe. I’ll have to did through my closet and find the month/year. One was about furlough survival and the other was called “Don’t be that guy: Left seat lessons learned from the bathroom wall”

Purdue grad here, non-flying degree. Pro tip, you can major in something else and fly through the local FBO. You'll save a TON of money and still benefit from the Purdue aviation degree knowledge & teachings because almost all of the instructors are from the program. Plus you're not restricted to all of the ridiculous restrictions placed on students so you develop some actual decision making skills.
Ask me how I know....

Yes.Con...con...context? Aroo?
The discussion prompt was about transition training. One of the things that you can do, as an airline, to make transition training a smoother and easier experience is reduce the bull crap, like learning new checklist headings and keeping callouts as standard as you can between fleets (while still respecting that the airplanes are different blah blah).
OR
You can go “nah dude,” and have the PF/PM “blurts” literally 180 degrees backward between, say, the 175 and CRJ, and obstinately refuse to align your procedures.
Call me “Aunt Emma,” but I feel like finite attentional resources are better used in training (and on the line, for that matter) on flying-related things and not “check” versus “checklist” or trying to remember who says “localizer alive.” (Note: that should be the PM too, for the purposes of encouraging active monitoring. Best practices, blah blah.)
Get a degree in something that interests you and you’ll FINISH. If that’s in aviation, fantastic lot of options out there. Getting some generic liberal arts degree that you’ll be bored to death with and will want to quit every semester will yield just as many backup plans as a aviation degree. Everyone is wired differently.
I’d say .3% of my cockpit conversations involve my degree but I definitely wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for my degree choice. That’s not an endorsement for ERAU or Aero Sci, I just woulda probably dropped out of something else. Add in the network that I built while attending there, loans are paid off now, and I’m not up late at night on a layover working on homework, I’m just arguing on the internet with liberal arts majors.
It all works out in the end. Just finish.

Liberal arts may well be interesting...to someone, somewhere.
Sound advice regarding actually finishing what you start.

It is uniquely useful for creating elementary school teachers, I think.

There are two ways to do this that do not tax my finite attentional resources, which are better spent managing the flight path or thinking about how I'm going to win at XCOM 2 or whatever:Henceforth all checklists are checks!

You either make it uniform AND you make people give a crap about it
OR
You don't bother making it uniform AND you don't give a crap about it
Not
"YOU HAVE TO SAY CHECK, NOT CHECKLIST" / "YOU HAVE TO SAY CHECKLIST, NOT CHECK"
Who's on first?
(I know that this sounds like a stupid quibble, but it's a stupid thing to create a quibble over, too.)
