Oh I see, you are one of

I'm kidding about Dough, I'm sure he's really there, but a quick thing of note for all the newbies in the right seat, or guys who will be there one day...
DON'T JUST SIT IN THE SEAT AND WAIT YOUR TURN TO UPGRADE.
ALWAYS PAY ATTENTION TO EVERYTHING THAT THE CAPTAIN IS DOING.
Sorry for the caps lock, but it's a point that needs to be made. My company had a close to 60% wash out rate of upgrading FOs at one point because these guys had spent 4 to 6 years sitting in the right seat, reading their company approved material and paying no attention what so ever to how to be a captain. They just assumed on day 3 of upgrade ground school somebody would come in and there would be an hour long lecture on "everything you need to know to be a captain" and they would be all set.
It doesn't work that way.
Just a little friendly advice.
