Yes, and you did very well Cap'n (well....we told you that anyway!) But it's possible your command could have come earlier at say 17 years or so on a (through clenched teeth for a LH pilot) 737! God forbid! Then you could have finely honed your handling skills. I always felt sorry for the dedicated LH-only colleagues. I found it a nice change with expanded horizons to get some SH. Indeed, with age, I find that looonng sectors now take up an appreciable proportion of my remaining life and I get panic 'escape' urges after 12 hours sitting there watching an AI. The only trouble is now I end up back at the starting place after 12 hours with no 5* hotel waiting for me!
