I suddenly found an increase in popularity amonst S76A+ crews who worked out that my natural value for money (£/kilo) meant that C of G problems reduced and that with me on board they could put in enough fuel to get round the evening shuttle when you invariably set off with zero pax. Bit depressing when you thought your popularity was based on your sparkling conversation.
Now I've taken the last refuge of the bacon roll chumping, tea swilling chopper guy and going back to teaching on sims. The load sheet-lying imay be a thing of the past but fitness to pass the medicals will still be there and that's probably not a bad thing. It's only the fear of my AME that gets me on the bicycle or walking up the hill.
