Although I've never been a commercial skipper, I've had some great times 'down route' in the old days:
The Monarch folk at Bangor were always fun. Holiday Inn, Odlin Road on Sinday night, I mean Sunday night....No I don't!
The BA crews one met in Chicago and Dulles.
But the best was a very pleasant night stop in Bermuda when we became good friends with a BA TriStar crew. Terrific time - and the Number One in her little black dress (and even littler lacy black knickers as I later found out) was particularly friendly....
