Paxing to LHR for simulator one day I was told at check-in that First was full with revenue pax and 'very senior staff'! I was put in business class at the last minute, having been told by BAS to 'expect economy'. Boarded aircraft and the first people I see sitting in First are one BAS load sheet clerk and one from catering, going to the UK on useless but expensive courses, (so it transpired), declined my business class seat and spoke to A). The captain, a Bahraini and B). The BAS senior who came on board at the Captains request. End result seat 2a to LHR, great trip!
am currently type rated and "recent" on my Lidle's inflatable with five years home pool experience
Gordo, surely this qualifies you to be an SEP instructor (water) and to spend your days bobbing up and down on the swimming pool in BAH training all the young CC?
