Well, low flying dropping off passengers, general sillyness, guilty m'lord many times of those sort of digressions.

I was thinking more along the lines of driving from one side of the country to the other to do a flight finishing at 2400 and starting the operation again at 0300 the next morning for a 1100 finish. Re
peat the exercise for more than a week.

Trouble is it is expected that new pilots will do these things an unwritten (cos you can't) rule. Last week I flew next to a very tired young man.

A simple way round would be if the nice man from the CAA you know the one that actually flys balloons not the engineer that has been doing AOC visits and picking up petty points anyhow you know who I mean if he made pilots put on there FTL's where the sectors took place. You can't bend the journey times then.

Anyone seen a Tardis for sale on ebay?

At more than one meet I've heard mutterings about its time we all found a union to join, pilots and crew!!!
