Hi!
Just a tip to the guys/girls that get through from one of your soon to be colleagues on the other side of the flight deck door. Don't let the position go to your head like some Second Officers do and also, after crew rest, tidy it up yourself! At the end of the day the crew are there service wise for the passengers and not the techies. As much as we don't mind looking after you guys, a lot of QF techies abuse it and are extremely rude for no reason! Just remember, we're the ones that get to prepare your food! haha
No, in all seriousness, good luck to those who get through, but just have a bit of respect for the cabin crew aswell, we also have a job to do. Another tip that i found quite alarming in CRM training, take the time to get a rough idea about what the cabin crew do from the time they get onboard to the time they get off and also what they do and how they will be reacting to different situations as during recent training the pilots also involved in the training had absolutely no idea, something of which 99% of cabin crew will find very offensive, its not all tea and coffee.
Good luck and i hope you all hear soon!
