it's a fine line spotting

Little off thread but last year as a bday present was bought a behind the scenes tour at Mytravel in Manchester. This included the Cabin crew side of things, then a bus to Ringway and a flight in an A320 whilst they explained what was going on up front etc. Then to the Engineering to see a B767 being worked on. The next day had a go in the A330 sim too!

1. I knew the anorak count would be high, and this was proved when during a coffee break I got talking to one of the lovely FA's who it turned out recognised me from school and so got chatting to her, and later the 2 other girls. I turned around and it dawned on me that 20+grown men were talking to the Pilot, and as the only other pilot in the room (Going through CPL hour building at the time) I was talking to the girls.......

2. One guy asked 3 FA's weather they had any knowledge of a DC-10 girt bar.........must have been his chat up line! I kid you not.
