MFTD1

Its day 2 of the MFTDs and been quite positive. Its one of those things where you work hard for it, perform well and u get really encouraging feedback from the chiefs. Working with a Captain as my team mate is going quite good too. We get on really well and though its been tough to grasp and adapt, we seem to work very well n the important thing is being able to keep up. He’s an ex Singapore Airlines A340 pilot!! He’s 30 and I’m only 21! But hes cool, hes got flying hours and valuable experience under his belt. We work well together so that’s good, hopefully it continues.

Its quite tiring, When the day is done and when I get into my car on the drive home, it hits me,- SHIT, It isn’t easy. Its mentally tiring. In a way you are depressed. A tear comes down the eyes on the drive home. Its gonna take a lot of effort, focus, hard work. I have quite a shit attention span and I’m known to be lazy. I hope this holds up.

I’m having to manage my sleep patterns to have my body work at its peak during sim and eventually, when we fly the real aircraft. Concentration is important so getting adequate sleep at the right time is therefore important. I get to have heavy meals to last me 5 or 6 hours! Its obviously fun when things are going well, takes one bad day to bring out all the F words and cracked furniture. There is so much energy running through me- I cant sleep.

Will be doing 1800-2330 tomorrow


PS: Revenge is sweet.
