What trends are you seeing in the people going from 1500 to a major?

Can I flip the script and talk about retired airline pilots in corporate aviation? Haha This has been an interesting read. It's an interesting dynamic between SOP, fleet culture, and personal preference. I can imagine that it's a fine line to walk as an FO.

I've got some stories. Actually, they're not all negative but there have been a few that are only for in-person, you're-buying, situations.

Why am I being tagged? I’m not a Corpie.

Do you not have a secondary flight plane page?

I'm pretty sure that FMS does not.

Samesies.

That first leg is heavily observational for me. I'll give my co the first leg, go do the walk around and when I get back, if everything is meticulous, complete and they have some questions like "I'm new, what runway do you think we'll get in MCI? I put in…" I know it's going to go great. If I get back and they're still scrolling on TikTok and there's a bunch of un-inserted uplinks and the buffer is full (which means they've been sitting in the MCDU for an extended period while other uplinks have been arriving) it's safe to assume, in most cases, it's going to be a trip where I have to play "disappointed dad".

("Disappointed dad" is kind of an inside joke with a few of my offline friend where you find yourself turning to the person, letting your shoulders down, reluctant glare, take a breath and give the other person the chat about expectations versus performance versus operational priorities and how YOU SHOULD ALREADY FRICKEN KNOW THESE DAMNED THINGS)

Hahahaha, I've been on the end of the disappointed dad doing my IOE. My biggest problem was figuring out what/where clearance said I was going. It was terrible, like first hour after discovery flight as a private pilot terrible on the radios.

I start a 4 day tomorrow with a pilot who is on his second post IOE trip. He's former Skywest so I don't anticipate any issues provided he makes it through the entirity of the trip before quitting to go to Delta.

You're DAL now right, rsv or line holder?

Reserve but I traded my reserve block this week with another pilot for his four day trip.
