At Detroit about three weeks ago my wife was stopped by "security" as she was carrying three passports and hand baggage for two small children, aged five and seven.
It is, apparently, vital that a five year old holds his own passport and drags his own hand baggage past these intellectual pygmys rather than his mother helping him. Now I know that there are young fundamentalists out there but I think a little blonde five year old boy with Buzz Lightyear under his arm is of little threat to all but himself. Even those dense enough to have their own gravitational field should have some common sense if they are in a position of authority.

Soupy,
Well you thought wrong didn't you, it may be universal in your company but not in mine. I think you will find that the world outside of BA calls them the Flight Crew.
Errr, it's the universally known term (I thought) for what you "claim" to be dear chap!

Nearly right Max Angle... I think you'll find it's only ex BOAC (and there can't be many left now) who call themselves Tech Crew. You can also spot ex BOAC when they call themselves "THE" Speedbird... on the R/T.
