Twobags. What a great post and what a great photograph. Of course you are right, nothing in commercial aviation is perfect (Unless you're the boss!)
Your post reminded me of my time before the jet airlines where I would haul Bandits and Twotters around Scotland and Scandivia in the late Seventies in weather conditions and commercial pressure that I would not want to experience again.
The difference to us oldies this time round is that if we're told to 'fly or die' or told to 'fly or walk' we can choose. Once retired from our Boeings the boss can go suck his thumb if we don't want to go into that cloud cover or fly with that dodgy engine. That's the big difference from being twenty to sixty.
I can't wait..........mind you my bosses are afraid of me now so I must be well on the way to making the grade as a grumpy old retiree.
