Perhaps the FC has got an 'FC' Brevet and actualy thinks that being driven around the sky for hours on end, eating donuts, actually justifies the wearing of it?
Doesn't he realize that that takes take skill and the ability to fit into a liferaft!!??

Are doughnuts back on Waddington's In Flight Catering menu then? They were on about 4 years ago and very good they were too! As were the blueberry muffins. In Flight Catering was a real centre of excellence and I could continue to extol their achievements - and the fine selection of pies on offer.

But I digress from the main point of this thread....if indeed there is one.

Dear Adis5000
I bow to your superior knowledge in knowing what 'active' means. The majority of FCs I have seen have most definately been of the 'passive' variety

BTW where is this 'highly skilled, extremely handsome and very witty professional' you speak of?


ps DUCK

With all of this witty banter flowing thick and fast between the FCs and ATCs perhaps its time to invoke the old plan to make the two branches swap jobs. This was proposed after somebody realised that ATCs are supposed to keep aircraft apart, but don't, and FCs are supposed to bring them together, but don't. Make them swap jobs and the problem is solved instantly.
I'm sure there is an older joke out there somewhere and, before some wise a?se jumps in first, its not me.

Unhappy

Yesterday Please said:

There is talk of breaking news in town. Nothing concrete yet, but important enough for those in places to want to pre-empt leaks. Ears to the ground, and read the papers.

Your ears get cold at this time of year keeping them on the ground like this! Is there any news or is this a troll to get aircrew keeping alive a healthy thread talking about nothing. Using the "No smoke without fire" theory, can you spread a little more specific gossip?

TM (in anticipation)
