I was jumpseating an Australasian carrier over the Indian Ocean, and the flight crew were writing down and crosschecking waypoints and freqs on a legal pad. They noted it was both to stay focused as well as make sure the right data was in the computer. Yeah, you can still doze between checks, but beats just reading
That's amzing. Jumpseating. You know, I can be the captain one day, then on the following day I am not even allowed to jumpseat in the same cockpit I flew the day before!
The world is mad.

Airbridges in the UK have locks and numbers and card type access. Two hours later in Spain, all bridges are unlocked, come and go as you wish.

Thread creep, I know!
