So this is what it comes to - tea, coffee and chocolate.

Wow. I hope I never have to get any of you come and fish me out. Will ensure my life jacket has a choccy bar in it in case you get hungry on your way home.

Flying is not rocket science. We make it sound difficult to look cleverer than we are. Virtually everything pilots do is a combination of systems monitoring (particularly in the civilian world), using the technology, crew management, basic straight and level and hovering. Be as sarcastic as you like, SAR is a good job and it isn't easy but you're not supermen, saying you are is an insult to the rest of us.

Good luck in the brave new commercial world. Be prepared for one hell of a shock.
