Just wanted to pass along that I passed my CRJ-900 SIC check for Mesaba, Monday morning. I was pretty confident but nervous going into the checkride. My goal was to not have to "redo" anything during the checkride. So, the checkride was going fine until I got to the single engine ILS, which I had done with no problem in previous sim sessions. The approach was kinda "wishy washy" towards the end, and even though I landed it in the touchdown zone the examiner was like, "ehh..lets do that one again, ok?" At that point I was like "Dangit!" But, the next one was right on. I guess that was a bit of a shot to my ego, oh well. The training was(is) in Denver at CAE and was very good in my opinion. I have LOFT on Saturday and then we'll see when IOE is, hopefully no more than 2 weeks away.
Thanks to all of the great advice and info from the people on this site. It really helped. Asking a lot of questions, taking notes and having a GOOD attitude will definitely help take you a long way. That was very evident to me during the sim training
