Not sure if you've flown yet, and I responded to your post earlier with my two cents. At the time, didnt think to ask for something in return.
Please let us all know how it went. Hope the advice from all helped!
"I wish I knew a pilot that I could talk to. This would be a super help!"

How to lose a blue dart
I've got two friends that I would have thrown the dart for, should my name have been drawn.
Neither one of them can get their act together to fill out the free, online application. "So you want to work here, but only if I make it real easy for you..."

Call Universal in Tucson, AZ (520 area code and 800#).
Carol Jett can get the CD rom on it's way to you, and also can tell you about pricing on Universal's courses. They do a great job, and for alot less than the $900 you would spend on PC "sim". Class is run using actual UNS's, so real...
WrightAvia's comments are right on the money!
The door can be closed with demeanor and grace. Says it all about the airplane. Learn to close the door, and fly it with the same style. Slam it around, and yes, you will close it, but......
Know "the numbers". For the later fuel injection...
727 Sim is being dimantled and moved to Altheon (former FS Boeing) in Sanford.
They moved the schedule ahead, I've got to reschedule some PC's now. D'oh!. Pretty nice level D 727 sim. Not to many good ones around anymore.
...me of a tip to pass on
beware of "dual vac" installtions. concept is splendid, but as pilot and MX I've seen more than one dual vac install s-h=i=* the bed. Vac line has a check valve of sorts, but when a pump fails, often impeller and assemly flies apart, and the "stuff" somehow gets in...
...transfer fuel! Not much. That's why on the aircraft with aux tanks, you'd better burn 8 gallons or so from the mains first. Otherwise, you are p*ssing fuel out the vent. You wont see it, but she's going to take more fuel than you thought at the pump.

Fax from OKC is the closest thing to a photocopy that would be legal. Just having a copy of your certificate is no good.
Most airlines, and operators (135) etc that are a step ahead of things have applied for and received exemption 53xx (sorry, dont recall exact number). If an operator is...

Go to the doctor, get a new medical and student pilot certificate. The new certificate does not indicate date of previous certificate, so somebody would have to be looking for a discrepency.

...part 121/135/125 etc. Gave me a whole new insight as to why some seem spring loaded to self disclosure process. Hang a pilot, or maybe get your * in a wringer.
That said, the CP/DO thing has gotten me out of an unemployment crack more than once. Once you are in, typically you are...
Like others suggested, get a Lawyer ASAP, and let counsel answer the letter.
