L@ser pens
I know there's been a couple of high profile incidents of these stupid l@zer pen things been shone into airliner cockpits lately in the UK, but does it happen much abroad?
I was in Greece last week (Skiathos), and just about every brat on the street had one. Lo and behold, on the flight home - as we were climbing out over Thessaloniki after our fuel stop - our plane was dotted with dozens of l@zer pen lights for about a minute, eminating from various points across the city. One got the missus in the eye as she looked out of the window, and she suffered a light blot on here eye for the entire flight home.
Is this a big problem for crews, because we were genuinely unable to look out of the window of the plane as we went over the city, for fear of being zapped again.
Just wondering, like. It's not good.
