Had trouble with the custom ear molds. Secret: buy a set of spare Comply Canal Tips for the Clarity Aloft. They work perfectly on the Mach1, are very comfortable, and completely block out background noise!
Don't let the keyboard thing throw you. Even some guy named Steve Jobs said at the end of the first day he wanted to throw the phone out the window. You DO get used to it.
I don't think he was suggesting that a MAJORITY fail their type rides -- just that a lot of pilots have a bust or two on their records by the time they make Captain.
That said, FIVE busts (3 pre-121, 2 during 121) seems to be lot for anybody.
Congratulations on getting the job. But seriously do a little research. There are no new hire classes until at least January, maybe March. The Freedom -900s are only temporary. You will learn to take everything you hear from the company with a grain of salt.
Pinnacle's ATL performance had improved by a huge amount even before DAL threatened to pull the contract, once DAL let 9E have some input into the schedules to make them something more reasonable that reflected reality. Since then, performance has been fine.
The June traffic figures still showed 129 -200s. Maybe that's outdated.

Can't use reversers below I believe 60 kts. because of FOD (foreign object damage). Plus, I would think it would be a lot of wear and tear on the reversers.
Not true. MEC made it clear on the conference call last week, there is no 90 day extension. Delta and 9E are still "in discusions" but there has been no, repeat no, official change in Delta's plan to terminate 9E on July 31. Not to say it can't change, but nothing has been announced yet.
