I agree, pilots should pick the trolley dollies
.
Back in about 1988 while based in Lae with Talair(PNG) we were allowed to recruit the girlies(Lord knows why???
) for the Twin Otters and Bandits......found some REALLY cute girls too.
Some years later, while Captaining a Bandit from Rabaul to Buka, I spied one of our young blokes in an Islander ahead on climb out. Well I went past him several wingspans to one side and 4/10s of a second later Glenda, one of the chosen in Lae, arrived in my cockpit with an astonished look on her face.
"Captain Chuck how did he do that!!!?"
"How did he do what Glenda?"
"How did he make the Islander fly backwards?"
Not sure how she would have gone in an emergency evac but she was always fun to fly with
