Strange looking "Flight Attendant" surely AA Drivers don't double up whilst on route!!! So I guess times really must be tough there, anything to save a $ or two! LOL....Can't wait to see Carty's Bonus payments!!!!!

Captain Numpty,

At AA, the relief pilot is a first officer position. Over 8 hours gets a 3rd pilot, (another FO). That covers any Europe or South America flying. The Japan flights get a 4th pilot, 1 Captain, 3 FO's.


That FO was problably in back on his break.

Thanks

Thanks, however I am aware of that. It's just the the picture commentary stated that a "Flight Attendant" had this idiot's Passport......Sorry for being cynical, but friends of mine at AA who are also occasionally 3rd Pilots themselves are often referred to as F.B's....."Food Boy's"????? So may be they do double up!!!! Only joking and please please do not be offended!
