I very much enjoy watching the various BA pilots on Twitter - definitely re-instills the "fly BA for the people" feeling. Particularly when it turns from pixels to people!
During the usual captains welcome, I thought I recognised the name of the pilot. Checked on Twitter and saw he was flying shuttling to and fro on my commute all day.
Replied to his tweet mentioning I was onboard. Amused, I messaged my sister about it too...
Moments later, he pops out and says hello. I passed on a message from my sister - "do a barrel roll". A good laugh
Pilots are human too!

Damn. I was hoping to be reminded about the A321 being the "largest aircraft in BA's fleet" as I remember seeing last year. Or a single engine being able to power a town the size of Colchester...something like that
I found the write-ups interesting but the aircraft info snippets usually had errors.

Back of a fag packet calculation suggests the V2500 would probably be good for ~15 MW if it were ever to be used for power generation. That would be enough for 30-40,000 households at off peak consumption rates.

He is definitely worth following, also his blog is very interesting (for aircraft geeks) although there are only 2 posts on it right now: https://captaindavea380.wordpress.co...rt-2-stopping/
The next post will be on the A380 fuel system.

The BA Pilots on twitter are universily great to follow - and unmistakably 'British Airways' pilots. Informative and friendly.
Actually makes me want to train up and become a pilot
I feel for them a bit as they do take a bit of a bashing for BA's failures in other areas sometimes.
Does beg the question - how many pilots do BA have?
