To all the regulars (and irregulars) who post here about NJA, thanks for all the great info. It helped me feel much more comfortable in my interview and no doubt improved my performance there. I got THE call today, and will be CMH-based Excel beginning July 17. Now to pick your brains one more time :
I've been wearing foam ear plugs and Telex headset in the CRJ. Will that effectively cross-over to the Excel? If not, what do you recommend?
I know NJA pilots don't drag around 50lbs of Jepps like I've been doing. What's the most elegant solution for hauling headset, flashlight, sunglasses, etc?
Is there some place in the Excel to carry one's laptop, or are you so busy there's no point in bringing one?
Any gotchas in training it would have been nice to see coming?
What else should I be asking that I don't have the insight to?
Thanks in advance for your help!
