Helldog I have no real issue with your statement - I purely refered to it to make my point. I am South African - lucky enought to never have flown contract but I have seen enough of africa to know what you are talking about. I also understand the sentiment of sometimes just wanting to do something exhilirating to celebrate your survival or break the monotony. I do long haul over oceans all the time and miss the days of smaller planes and more fun too.
But the fact is what this guy did is not acceptable and I just pointed out that something like this can haunt you for many years and screw up future opportunities if it comes out. I certainly won't admit to rolling transport aircraft - and definately wont publish it on the web!!
