GOOD posting Wino....
TowerDog:
I came from 747-400's to AA's hazing program, and wondered if I had done the right thing ( people were busting checks all around me - very un-nerving - but they had very little big-jet experience unlike you. You will be an asset from the get-go, just like they became through time.)
Wino's right: the folks in MIA are fantastic, and they are ALL there to help and have a good time. You'll love it. You will also be off the panel in weeks, and you will find FO school a whole new world of being treated like a big-boy. In fact, it was fun ( yes, really ).
On reflection, coming to AA:
BEST MOVE ON THE PLANET
(Thanks to my fellow AA'ers reading this, who make me happy driving to the airport to go to work. I'd forgotten what fun flying could be.....)
