Navs: What can I say? ........ Plenty!!
How about when the Captain (WIL) ordered the Nav to give me (crewman filth) the fifty-thou' so that we could find the DP, after 2 aborted run-ins, and let Cdr 1 BR Corps out!! (a VIP over 200km required a Nav on board!!??)
Still, at least one of the Navs obviously had his Nav Cat back by then!! Meow!

I did know PH quite well but lost touch years ago - I think he was one of the first navs to jump seats.

ps. I too was crap, just very very good at bluffing !

3.4,

"Most were such crap navs, they made them pilots...!"

As you are still a Nav should we draw any conclusions...........

Surely that would make me a good nav?

And I'm not still a nav, so ...

Sorry 3.4,

But my lateral thinking drew me to the conclusion that if the really crap Nav's got to re train as pilots then the ones that were doomed to remain in the dead end role of Nav must have been way more crapier.............

Done. Left 2 weeks ago and got lazy. Er.

Maybe I'll get a life soon and stop hawking this forum?

Gotta have something to do between shifts on the drivethru and cleaning the toilets ...

PLO got promoted and posted, but he was replaced by another Nav....

And some of us actually chose rotary - not arrogant enough for FJs, not fat enough for Multis....
