10 - 9 - 8 - 7 - 6 - 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 ...

Tomorrow is the big day. My first 121 check ride. 4-6 p.m. oral, 6-10 p.m. flight.

Yes. I am nervous. Am I prepared? Everyone says yes. I feel no. That is normal, right? I will be flying with a qualified line captain, which is a definite plus.

If all goes well, it will finally be time to go home and see the family. It's been a very long time and I really miss my wife and kids. I get 5 days off before the beginning of IOE and plan on getting the most out of it.

Please pray for me, send positive vibes or whatever.

I'll try and post the results tomorrow night.
