Old Smokey - while I was Cabin Crew way back in 1999, I once jumpseated a return leg on a Monarch A300-600R from MAH. Talking to the FO, I learned that his previous job was flying a Jetstream 31/32 (19 seats) in the Highlands. When I said the transition to the Airbus A300-600R (361 PAX and about 170 tons) must have been something, he just shrugged and said:"it's just another plane..."
