Once upon a time I walked out to the aircraft wearing a Kamikaze headband which the pax thought quite funny. Of course that was in the days when people had a sense of humour and my actions were not recorded on mobile phones, displayed on Youtube, then the front page of The Sun and subsequently half the country were baying for my blood. I would, of course, be sacked the same day following interviews with the Police, Mi5, someone looking for publishing rights and a lawyer insisting that I sue the company for false dismissal.
Aviation used to be fun. You tell the young 'uns today and they just won't believe you.
