Wedged into a middle seat of coach, I attempted to concentrate. A 767 operating manual sat on my lap. It was as good a time as any to review again. I was deadheading to DFW for my nine-month recurrent training. It would be the first recurrent training I would attend as a check airman. And I wasn’t sure what to expect.
Although I had followed my normal preparation habit, my study focus hadn’t felt as intense. It was almost as if I was missing a crucial element that would be the key to a successful training experience. I suspected why.
