I am not a pilot or aircrew but a very regular SLF (perhaps too regular) and have been flying extensively on Business since 1980,s and before that on flights back to school and holidays from the early 60,s. As my returns to school involved flight to the UK from Chile we are not talking short hops. In my I agree limited experience compared with aircrew, I on the hole seem to endure less issues with CAT then we did back in the 60,and 70,s. I speak as one who had the joys of a famous AF CAT incident so it may colour my judgment but I am still flying 200,000 miles per on average(last years total 197843) so I do have a reasonable amount of flight time to judge by. Would be interested to here from other SLF thoughts.

Mr Mac
