Great Aviator
Read carefully, but i guess this advice is futile, as these lines will not go through your glasses ...
I recently had a skipper look into the cockpit (mind you: On ground!) and telling us proudly that he will shortly be one of us, applying as a DEC. He was based in a big and fantastic European city, working 6/4/6/3 LHS, short/med lines.
But even showing my roster (95h, 8 days off, 2 ULR, 4 night T/A) and my meagre confirmed leave (20 days up to now) did not ring any tiny bell.
He simply though i was exaggerating!
We make fun of FA who pretend that their Mohamed is different, but pilots are in no way better.
