Thank you, that makes a lot of sense.

I have no desire to DP, Shoot or !st even. I enjoy my postion as a 2nd AC. My goal is to focus on the development of my skills, to truly become the best I can be. There is times I feel like I am missing a piece of the puzzle and if I could figure it out, I soar in my chosen position. It blew me away the other day because I was told I am too focused and I work too hard. What??

I know it is a broad subject, but I really appreciate the comments. I am always looking for information on how I can get better. I have really seem a evolution over the past years. I have found it takes time to truly develop your skills, you are not going to be awesome out of the gate. I just finished a job a I know there are some things I need to work on.

I have been working as a 2nd AC for the past 5 years, and in that time I have encountered many 1st AC and Operators who have different views of what makes a good 2nd AC. When I started out I felt to be a good 2nd I had to move quickly and work the hardest. Over time I began to realize moving quick was rushing, which lead to mistakes. When I learned to slow down I began to make less mistakes. My question is to you what makes a good 2nd AC
