OK, I take it back. There was me listening to the experiences of over 60 current serving UK mil (RAF and Army) as opposed to an airline pilot. I must have missed the quietly considered, personal reflections of Joe Public and mistaken it (until very, very recently) for apathetic disinterest before them turning back to Jade and the BB household.
