C'est nepas un bon nuit - malheursement

The most stressful part of my job is getting to my left front seat of the jet, immediately followed by getting the jet off the gate and to the correct runway. I feel like this is the most threat packed portion of my duty day. Then there is the task of getting the jet off the runway and to the gate following the subsequent landing which is another rich environment for bad things to take place.

Most of the time the portion in-between, actual fight time, is relatively easy.

Being in the left front seat of a “super” 380 is arguably the pinnacle of the commercial piloting career. What a lousy night for everybody involved.
