Submarines

KH - The priceless quote from Tim was down the lines of "Why can't pilots be like submarine captains and operate on four hour shifts, sleeping in between. That way they can keep going for ever".
He also muttered something in the same interview about 800 seat 380s flying from Stanstead to Avalon full of the great unwashed who buy their food from vending machines. Not sure what he smokes, but I'd sure like some of it.

One major difference is that submarine captains get to torpedo other vessels. I'm drawing up my list already.
