I was on a red-eye from LAX-EWR, not that long (6-8 mos) after Sep.11 and seated in FC on a 757 (remember the good old days when your Plat UG was money in the bank?) and after everyone was boarded the Head Pilot came out and proceeded to give all in FC a geography quiz.

It was definitely the coolest thing, to this day that I've ever seen a pilot do (aside from landing planes in 50 mph crosswinds at LGA...of course). This gentleman had 24 adults raising thier hands like school kids to answer the questions!!

I tried to remember his name ... but as being a red-eye.....

Does anybody remember this HP? Or more interestingly did anybody else have this experience? I didn't get the feeling it was a spur of the moment act.

Any other Cool Pilot stories??
