What a sad day, and out of the blue as well.
A kind skipper at Maersk (cheers Steve
) gave me two jumpseat rides, one to Milan and the other to Copehhagen. The whole 737-500 experience, from walkaround to shutdown back at base, as you chaps see it. This PPL-er was indulged far beyond the call of duty! And what a ride! The pocket rocket -500, great crew, great view and an unforgettable experience.
I just hope that the boys and girls affected find themselves back in the game soon.
