It's ok SOPs, most polar flights these days are done by 380 pilots and mericans. They can enjoy and experience those extra rads as much as they like :}

Don, I could have sworn you just described a well balanced Oztranought, anyway, no need to be green with envy now as you'll be giving Homer a run for his rad count :cool: Bid for CPH, its much safer.

So it's trainers, Oztranauts and 380 pilots. Anyone here you do like monarch?
Some of these recent DECs do seem moan a lot.

Blimey Don, with that kind of insight I'm surprised you aren't in management by now :E
