Funny you should mention people busting checks all around you. I don't think that I am particularly smart, but I have never been pinked and have never even had an extra sim period in my career. Sooner or later it will happen to me, I guess it happens to everyone. However, I am afraid that should it happen the whole house of cards might come tumbling down and I might never pass another ride again. With guys busting all around me in 727 groundschool, I got real worried for a while. Of course I got through it, probably with overkill, but that was really scary for a while when people I thought were smart were getting the hook left and right...
Passed my Airbus oral last week, things are cruising now. What a great time I am having in F/O school. Great instructors, great subject matter and all the possible knowledge that I can absorb with almost no crap to waste what pitifully little brain space is left in a head composed mostly of bone...
Cheers
