So Biff, when you accept a proffered flight in CX, who pays you the agreed upon rate for doing the flight?
(a) The company, or
(b) The pilot who proffered the flight?
On to a completely different point:
can you avoid "red eyes" at EK?
Spilt my coffee all over my keyboard when I read that little gem. Priceless.
Junior, I did a flight recently where there was this big yellow thingie high up in the sky. It was huge, at least twice the size of a full moon, (on which I, like most EK pilots, am an authority). Had to ask the other pilot what it was. I had seen it before, but I thought it only ever appeared REALLY low down in the eastern sky, just peeking above the eastern horizon, after a really long night flight. The other pilot told me that it actually gets as high as right overhead, then drops towards the western horizon in what he called "afternoon".
It might be true, but I think he was having me on.
