Do NOT volunteer for an air-test on your last afternoon!
Excellent advice Mogwi. I just wish I had received it all those years ago. My last flight (an airtest) ended up in an asymmetric flapless landing. The fire trucks that followed me down the runway were then available to hose me down after the event. I also managed to use my 4 months terminal and resettlement leave working for my next employer. The only issue is that after three months, they made me redundant. It's quite an achievement being made redundant from your first airline job before you have left the RAF. And I had also been tasked with a service paper to complete before the final official date. I finished it in a hotel room on a New York layover and signed it Dan Winterland, First Officer, Virgin Atlantic Airways. My boss left it like that and that's how it ended up on file.
