    Is the passion you had for flying when you began your career the same as it is now or has it become more mundane?

    Pre-seating/exit row fee increase effective today

    They don't call it cattle class for no reason. Flying stopped being enjoyable for me a long time ago, purely a way to get from A to B in the fastest time possible. Start with that mindset and you won't have to deal with the constant disappointment that announcements like this bring. Advice for...

    Think I got food poisoning from Jetstar

    [FONT=Verdana]You don't happen to work for Jetstar do you? You have my sympathies, a few months back I had a food poisoning from chicken. After 5-6 hours I was in the bathroom throwing my guts up while on the toilet at the same time, would not wish it on anybody. I got it very bad and could...

    Ask The Pilot

    Is it difficult to control the plane with turbulence, I can't imagine trying to press small buttons and switches with the aircraft being tossed around like a rag doll. On your videos it looks like the coughpit gets the shakes just as much as other parts of the aircraft.

    When moving about the cabin......

    Interesting, I always though aisle armrests couldn't get raised.. Maybe I didn't look hard enough for the lever/knob.. Will keep an eye out next time I fly, thanks.

    Aruba or Dominican Republic?

    I will be flying out of EZE and want to take my partner away for 1 week. The most important thing for us is the weather and beach, would love nice blue water and the ability to relax on the beach all day. Some decent shopping would also help. I have heard Aruba is a nice place, we looked at...

    When moving about the cabin......

    Yes, lots of practice !! Even more difficult in economy with the person in front fully reclined, requires a lean back and good timing to slide between the seat in front and your seat. I am a serial offender when it comes to getting my knee cap smashed into with trolleys. Also have my fair share...

    Ask The Pilot

    Great videos JB !! Loved the one with the FO taking the controls, good to see some on the job training. How often do you decide to let the FO do the departure or landings - is it based on confidence levels in the FO or is there a timetable to ensure the FO gets enough practice? I noticed you...

    9 hours in Frankfurt - shopping?

    Hey Burrco, I found this website that explains the VAT refund. Tax-free shopping. Might help some others who are in Frankfurt and want the VAT back :p I will be claiming the VAT using a service company since I won't get the opportunity to go back to the shop after I get customs to sign the form...
