I am reminded of a flight way back in 1988. My crew and I were positioning on an Aer Fungus Shorts 360 from Dublin to Shannon. Later we met up with the crew in the bar, three ladies, who told us that the following week their
PR department had arranged a big function for the press and television to witness the first flight operated by an all female crew. However on this day the scheduled captain had reported "sick" so the standby captain, Ms X, took over. It cost them a round of drinks for us not to spill the beans !
