Certainly operating the tourist trade can be extremely unnerving. One is forever on one's toes just waiting for that nasty phone call, and when it happpens, as passengers it'll be the worlds smartest lawyers daughter on her honeymoon with the worlds richest man's son. says murphy.

However there is one sure indicator of a smart arse pilot.

No trade or lessening trade in a good market

nothing spreads faster than tourist talk.

the tourist trade is generally worse than being a dairy farmer
you must be there seven days a week, rain hail or shine, they can kick you, s**t on you like cows do, but they also ~ talk back.~ and believe that their watch is always one minute slower than yours.
