Flying back from Beijing to LHR by BA Looking out of the window I thought that the attitude of the aircraft looked very nose up so early in the cruise. I mentioned this to a CA and suggested it was because the cockpit crew had spent all their allowances in Beijing. She passed this comment to the flight deck and I was asked to come up front.
I knew the captain but not that well. He remembered me and also remembered that I had been transferred to helicopters. I discovered that apparently all 747s flew like that one. I was then grilled about the chances of earning extra dosh in China after their retirement. I couldn't give them definitive answers as flying offshore in China I was not directly connected to the Chinese airline system.
As with ShyToirque I got bored after an hour or so and went back to the seatback videos.
