I second all your points and thanks for your encouragement. Had I not been furloughed I may have been a little closer to that 1500 747 PIC......to bad the 1000 PIC on an E145 doesn't count......
It truly is amazing that there is very little in the way of memory aids for the zero time/ low time guys who are new to all this. For example the Mag compass errors - ANDS/UNOS. Nah, much better to remember another bloody equation!
