Approaches and landings are now stabilized and up to line standards, I've got the whole ACARS/FMS thing down cold, and I have somewhat of a clue when it comes to when and what airports have ramp towers, ops freqs, etc.
Now, I get to sit reserve for who knows how long. My sim partner was DAMN close to holding a line this last bid (he forgot to turn his in), and he's two spots UNDER me. So, I might be able to hold a line come Aug or so. We'll see what happens! |
Congrats man! Welcome to the fun to be had on the line at the regional level. It's day 2 of a 4-day for me and I'm already on my 9th Pairing Modification. The joys!! It's not all bad though. You'll get the hang of regular line operations very quickly and it will be second nature.
Word of Wisdom: If you're in Houston, when you call to push on the ramp freq., make sure to give them your first fix (IAH thing). You'll impress the hell out of them.
