He was a fully rated P2X line pilot.
As I posted earlier…what could go wrong?
Got me laughing ........ reminds me of the Chief Purser, with probably 20-25 years in post, asking me as we chugged along in the cruise, "Hey Captain, if we depressurised, we'd still have time to gather in the dinners etc before we sat down with a mask, wouldn't we" - absolutely true !
