Bloody 'ell. How long did the TAA pilot spend in the sim "yesterday"? 1796 miles, 18 take offs, 18 approaches, including 3 x single engined approaches.
He must've been absolutely shagged at the end of that!

The ad is June 1968, I don't think Geoff would have been to 72's then and besides I reckon it would make him older than he actually is !

The good 'ol days???
Those articles/adds remind us all of how aviation use to be the best profession ever to be in, in this country or anywhere else for that matter.
The glory days of aviation, 1950 - 2000, are gone ? - never to return?
Just look at the other thread going at the moment, "Jetstar Service" to see how low it has sunk.
These days the industry 'aint worth a bucket of cold piss, the only saving grace being that enough people now know it and are stearing clear so there tends to be 2 drivers for every 1 job in the middle ranks instead of 4 as has been the case for the last twenty years.
It gets a tad boring though when people bleat on about the lack of service though.
Do you really think GD and other knob heads give a stuff? Us as drivers do actually care but they are laughing at us 'cause they themselves couldn't give a stuff.
The only thing that matters is their bonus and the share price.
The customers and the staff can go jump 'cause these guys couldn't give a $hit.
Every one together ...
Bow down and honour thy share price
Good luck Hugh (Daddy loves the nurses uniform?), good posts even if it does remind us all of how great this industry used to be, keep it coming.
