Captains

On a slightly separate, yet kinda connected...

I was at BQH a few weeks back and was stood by the main desk seeing off a flight. It is true I couldn't hear everything that was said but it went a lil somethin' like this....

There was a NetJet's captain stood waiting for what I thought were passengers by the main desk, then another Captain introduced himself to the awaiting crew member and said "Good morning, I am 'Capt Whatever' so we're together for the Chambery flight this morning".

Small point and naturally both Captains would have been extremely qualified and both professional, but I thought it was interesting that these two guys had seemingly never flown together from what I could gather, they were both Captains and travelling to a fairly tricky airport. I understand that when you fly with major airlines (BA, etc etc etc) the Captains probably have never flown together either but I bet NetJets don't advertise that in their sales pitch

Not really on the same theme but thought it was interesting nevertheless.
