What are our Instructors really doing?
I have always wondered what Instructors are actually doing when they say 'Go out and check the aeroplane, I'll be out in five minutes'. I have never received a satisfactory answer. First of all, it's never five minutes, more like ten and I've never seen any of them doing paperwork during the day, so it can't be that.
Perhaps they have to perform some kind of private fertility dance? Maybe some kind of bizzarre weight and balance ritual?
What do you all think?
The more humerous replies might receive a prize (probably not, but it doesn't hurt to ask).
