Summary

When I got hired with Endeavor Air, since day one my goal was to upgrade to Captain and eventually become a Line Check Pilot. When I was a First Officer, I would always pick up additional flying than what I was already awarded for the month. Picking additional trips each month helped me get my required hours to captain sooner than my classmates and I upgraded to captain in less than two year. During this time, I had many good experiences with different captain, different line check pilots and very few not pleasant experiences. From the different captains, I learned different techniques and also learned how they managed the crew and people around them. I also learned a lot from my non pleasant experiences regarding, what kind of leader or mentor I did not want to be.
