Perhaps he has more lives than you Dr Cat.

Seriously, based on my limited CCR experience I have learned the following:

Take enough bailout. Calculate high RMV at the bottom. Don't expect to be able to get off the bottom immediately. You will loose time trying to determine/fix the problem, get out of the wreck, swim back to the line, ...
Take the proper bailout, forget air.
Don't count on onboard, it can go really quickly.
Dive with a reliable and experienced CCR buddy. He will know what to do if you need help.
Build up your experience SLOWLY. Don't push it. Two 60 meter dives and asking the questions you are asking seems pushing it.
Don't rely on past OC experience. You will make the wrong choices when faced with a problem on CCR.
