Just a quick question, silly as this may sound, its a serious question. What do CX pilots do for fun during long haul? Are they allowed to bring in any electronic gadgets and what not? e.g ipod touch, electronic chess game etc. At some point they are gona ask what makes you think you will enjoy long haul?, just wana be honest with them and not BS this one.
I think you are actually asking if you can play with these in the cockpit....?
Of course not, if you pull one out and you're with the wrong captain or F/O, kiss your CX job goodbye.... Wait til you get to the hotel room, and play with them while you're feasting on your Nissen Cup noodles.
What you might enjoy about long haul, is seeing the world ( albeit for a very short time), meeting different people, flying a big new shiny jet,all that bla bla, cos you can't say you are doing it for the money! ( Well, these days you aren't anyway....)
