Thread drift
I was at BA many years ago preparing a Trident for flight - it was going to fly the queen somewhere - and they got the most senior Management Flight Crew to fly the trip. It did make me wonder - if I was the Queen would I prefer to be flown by the most senior pilot who was probably 'getting on a bit' and spent more time driving a desk rather than an aircraft - or would I prefer a crew who are well down in the pecking order but are doing loads of sectors a day?
Just a thought
