I suppose it depends on who you work for and probably now, with the advent of everything being aired on social media, what you feel you can get away with.

I have flown Calgary to Vancouver at 18000 feet to give the passengers a "stunning view of the rockies" , let down to 3000 ft overhead Edinburgh en route Aberdeen, beaten up various airfields, etc., all in large passenger aircraft with a well known British Airline.

Nobody ever complained.

Would I do it if I were flying now?

Probably not, as there would probably be someone on board who would tell a Daily Mewspaper all about it and how it ruined their honeymoon!!

I think flying is sadder for that.

Glad I'm retired!!
