Some African humour at the end of this LONG DRAWN OUT thread
Heard a few years back about an airforce pilot in an out of the way african country who had logged some 20000 hrs (yes, twenty thousand) over a 10 year period...
No one had informed him that it was actually supposed to be time spent at the controlls of an aircraft. Instead, he had logged all the time on the job...sitting behind a desk at the office, with very little flying at all.
Do the maths:
8hrs/day
5 days/week
48 weeks/year
10 years
I can just see this one in an interview at one of the big operators...
