Hi everyone
Does all this mean that you all think that pilots should be made to visit ATSUs at least twice a year to see the other side of the coin. How many of you can honestly say you've been to even one this year? and which one did you visit?
To the fam flt thing, yes they can be a good idea and informative to both parties but in the past i remember turning up to an 'officially' organised one where the airline themselves had said which flight was available and i was told that the crew were expecting me. Not only were they not expecting me they were line checking so i got to spend the whole flight down the back on the way out.Then on return flight the captains daughter was on the jump seat so again i read the in flight magazine for the duration. Got my duty frees though.
I have been on better ones in the past though and 'boy do you guys like your toys'. Only kidding!
keep smiling
