After nearly 2 months of working at EWR on the Q, I finally met OCG this morning. Of course, it had to be planned since we were starting to think the other one didn't really exist.  It's amazing that in 2 months not only have we not flown together, we never even ran into each other either at EWR or anywhere else we fly! What are the odds?
Anyway, he's a very nice guy and hopefully, we'll fly together soon!

It was a pleasure meeting you as well. And now that we went out of our way to get together for coffee, we'll probably fly together for the entire month of April.... | |

The one thing I don't like about it is how the rudder needs to be retrimmed all the time. Right rudder for the climb, let rudder out on level-off, left rudder in the descent, left rudder with power reductions, right rudder with power additions... sort of like flying a single-engine aircraft in that regard. Except it's difficult sometimes to add in a little bit of rudder input without having the rudder all of a sudden go too far all at once. However, it is an awesome plane to hand-fly, and I find it to be a pretty easy airplane to land (though it's harder to get it to land WELL). So I'd have to say that, overall, I really enjoy flying it. | |

LOL! That's what I thought as well, but after checking my schedule, it doesn't look like it!

You should consider yourself lucky. Lucky that you don't have to fly with ME!
