I'm not sure if this link has been posted before, I apologise if it has. It's in response to the rather derogatory comments by some posters.

I confess, I am crew, so maybe I'm just a little bit touchy about things. I shouldn't rise to the bait, I know. But I did, so here is a little video for you to watch. Enjoy (hope it works, I'm not really sure how to do this link malarky)

As most of you know, the initial training lasts 6-8 weeks at the start of the job, then for a week every year. We have three manuals to memorise and have to recall the most obscure facts at recurrent. We don't claim to be experts in anything, but a jack of all trades who have to be able to adapt to lots of situations. Some of you may think a week in the simulators is fun, trust me, it isn't.

I know the vast majority of you do understand that it isn't just flinging chicken or beef at someone, and to you, <<insert kiss smilie>> (no idea how to do those either!)
