The Queen of the Sky I say! Had the best years of my career flying the '10; now its just time-serving to retirement by comparison. But I did notice in recent years very few ground engineers knew anything about them as all the older guys had been given early retirement to cut costs...

I think the problem these days is the standard of Ground Engineers you get.Most of them are box changers who don't like to get their hands dirty.

I'd rather be a box changer than a button pusher.At least my job isn't being replaced by the boxes that you mention.

Now, now, fellas, stop it right there. I remember the 10 with affection. I also remember being able to do a daily in an hour or so (singlehanded)!!??? Remember that, rightstuff? IFE was a b*gger. I think it was the 10 that cemented a desire to get off shift-work for a while!
Still, it's on my 66.
