Three old Geezers!

A few years ago, I was sat in bizzo, positioning to LHR, when the Captain came back for a quiet word with me. He had just discovered that both he and the co-Captain were over 60. He appeared vexed.

We were about 3 hours into the flight at this stage. Being similarly blighted by age, I could only sympathise and take another sip of my pinot noir. Fortunately, my F/O hadn't hit the bottle at that stage, so he instantly became the flying F/O. Job done. Crewing face saved.
