You had a hot pot on your Herc? Luxury!
I thought the TRs were installed to heat meals! |

+ Screen colour choices are limited to Black or Green & Black. + You've logged over 5,000 hours on type and have never seen one with seats. + The raw-gut feeling that something is wrong turns out to be that you are not using a flash light for the preflight. |
- You check with the reception if the phone is operational because the red light doesn't flash

Having flown mixed flying between pax and freight in my old company and my current, here is the best of the old...
- Signing on and the other crew buddy does not know where freighter is parked - Arriving at hotel..."what booking?" - Having casino next door to nearly every night (day?) stop hotel and enjoying breakfast with seniors with beer. - Commuters on jump seat who won't shut up whilst you are trying to sleep. - Waking up to gear extension. - Exiting aircraft through A&E bay door, as no one can be f#cked to bring stairs over. - One fat basted who had to jump from L1 door because he couldn't fit! Hospital trip. - Downwind landings into curfew restricted airports (Hope tower doesn't advise what it really is!!!) - Diversions into places where nothing happens until 6am. Current company....Much better. |
