BelArgUSA .......... Aaaahh PanAm. BOAC used to share the PanAm resthouse in Trinidad before the UpsideDown Hilton was built. My old Captain ( considerably younger than I am now, but he looked old to me - then ) started to chat up the very classy PanAm Stewardess at the bar, offered to buy her a drink, she demurred, he insisted and said " my treat, I earn more than you " " do you, she said " ? in the end he did - just.
Them were the days, enjoy retirement - it sucks ! I don't miss the 14 hr. night sectors and the stroppy hotel clerk at the end of them, but the flying was fun, none of this button pressing stuff, real stick and rudder with the first 747's
