Yep, Jump School with no previous airline flights.

A thought that didn’t occur to me until my first commercial landing which seemed a little bumpy to me and then as I looked around at the other passengers to see if they were reacting, the realization hit me that I was a landing virgin and how odd that was since I had developed a little sense of familiarity with aircraft and being in the sky, it occurred to me that landing is probably the most important event in most people’s flying.
