As a piece of very interested SLF in this debate, I notice that the word 'Honest' is used in the thread title.
The Potter states:
"He buys clapped out aircraft from the local Mojave desert scrap metal merchant".
Is this honestly true?
Pulp Fiction states:
"There are pilots who literally foul their trousers every time that PM walks into the crew room."
Is this honestly true Pulp? or Fiction?
As 'literally' means 'actually', (according to my English teacher many years ago), I wonder how these pilots bowels will react in a real emergency on the flight deck, just when we down the back are relying on them to do the 'professional aviator' bit. There was a joke in my time about two guys pulling off an emergency landing, and one asking the other in the smoking ruins, "Can you smell anything?" to which the other replied, "Smell it?!! I'm SITTING in it". It was just a joke though.
Moreover, I'm surprised that Jet2 want these uniforms back so promptly if they are constantly being fouled by pilots, unless it's in the interests of hygiene.
Let's try and keep it 'honest' cos we believe you guys.
