I remember with fond affection the old Mon crew room days, where you would often meet the same crews that were there on lates when you reported for earlies, and vice versa...those were the days.
Never remember any first class check in from Mon days...maybe things have improved considerably since I left!
They were fun days...mostly because of the crews...I think the regs have changed everything now; I can't say I miss the flying, other than the odd day when one had a really splendid day flight, with beautiful scenery and a happy, bubbly crew with equally happy and contented passengers...Those were the days.
Having said that, driving a desk can be somewhat tiresome too, with the odd very early start!
