Wild young FO had become a mighy MOUSE captain.
First flight on the line he's bein' REAL professional and is a bit boring... he's takin' himself so seriously.
Gladstone overnight where the surley Pommy motel owner insists we give our surnames first and always calls F.Os FLIGHT officer when checkin' in and doesn't seem to approve of happiness in any form.
Captain only has two small beers and goes to bed at the hour little kids are still up.
Crew plot during their quieties after work.
2 AM Captain's door is hammered on and he shoots up to it, thikin' he's gone an' bloody done it and slept in.
Crew with bags and uniforms standin outside say , "Bus'll be here any tick... you up yet?"
Slams door, heart goin a million to the secondand heads for the uniform all set out and bag ready for jamies and razor then can be zipped up.
More hammerin' on the door and he's let in on the secret.
Didn't sleep too well till alarm went off at set time of an hour before pick up.
