The only airbus that's fun to fly is the A320.

I speak from experience !

Well that's my opinion.

Don't forget the 5 P's ....LOL

Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance.

Well ... if anything good is to come of this, at least the rest of the world now knows that we don't talk to each other at briefings and the captain doesn't always walk in front.

Shouldn't a typical day in the life of an Airbus pilot feature a crew leaving Bombay at O dark thirty?

Love the way he pitches up at dispatch with his hat tucked under his arm.

I'm afraid his street cred is shot - which begs the question - why would you do this to yourself???

Give them a break

Great video guys.

Oh and that shoe box you refer to that he lives in ..... he owns..... Once paid off it will be worth over a million kiwi. We come to HK to make money that's the bottom line!!!

Flying Kiwi, Quote:- "Oh and that shoe box you refer to that he lives in ..... he owns..... Once paid off...."

Contradiction?

I don't know how things work in the far reaches of the world, but everywhere else you don't own anything until you have finished paying for it. In this case, I suspect that the bank still owns "his" house. He is still in the process of buying it.

I don't care how much his pad is worth.

Why would you stick your hand up and volunteer to do that for a company that holds us in utter contempt.

I know why ES does, he thinks he's good looking and admires himself greatly. I won't say what the wife said when I told her about ES....let's just say she laughed hysterically.

Not saying his place is not nice or worth a fair bit its just that the one in the video is not where he lives, only used it for this video.

Good on ya, Richard. Some are passionate about their job others aren't. Your passion shows through. Wish the same could be said about others on this forum.

mmmmmmmm

He starts reading 3 hours before the flight?

The A330 is "state of the art"

Oh well I guess it's not too bad considering.

Brave guys though!!
