I don't want to be the best pilot in the world - Just the oldest

Thumbs up

Aready got the VCR programmed to record it.

CFI still can't do the aeordynamics brief without cracking a smile.

"Particle A and well lets call this one particle A also because they're identicle"

But best of all is Nigel's CRM "Shut up and I'll tell you what I think you need to know"

I hope they remember to include a "Reel-Life" shot of some sad old commuting capts sleeping on a worn-out couch in the crewroom.

A Must See

All instructors will identify with the "particle A and particle A travelling around the wing from F and meeting at F" brief...

Anyone that has ever sat in a jump seat will identify with the challenge of doing up the harness, and literally being shown the ropes...

And all pax will identify with the fact that the tea and coffee come out of the same pot.

Amazingly when this was on before some people took it seriously. Surely the fact that the Captain of this very British airline was called Nigel should have alerted them!! And the pixellated tail on the aircraft of "Anonymous Airlines", the reflection in the tower windows of the aircraft flying backwards, and many other snippets.

Don't miss it!!

The other episode I can highly recommend is the one about a day in the life of a police officer. It's soooo funny! I'm laughing all over again just thinking about it!

"Huh. A screamer!"
