What was I doing up the front??? Having a pole of course! Then when it gets boring it's time to go back in the cabin watch a movie and dig into the bar and rack up a bill on the sat phone.
It's all automatic and the only time it gets busy up front is when it is zooming through European airspace at mach 0.9, pilots get sore fingers from changing the frequencies. ( Hey... I don't do the tea and coffee, that's in your job description as a Bristows Coie Pohm1 )
We had a few of the CHC guys go up for a spin the other day but they never took advantage of the bar service.
