Obese air passengers… Does size matter?

Ok, so I saw this in a pilot wife group today, and it made me chuckle-though it probably shouldn’t have, since it’s actually a safety issue and a serious concern in an emergency.
Basically, the picture is rumoured to have been taken by an American Airlines flight attendant who wanted to use the picture to demonstrate [...]

Hands off my Pilot, HO!

UGH!  I NEED TO VENT!
Bf just rang to say goodnight… Some hostie (from a different UK airline also staying in the same hotel as his crew are), who will here on in be referred to as: ‘the cheap ho’  just tried it on with him… So, naturally, he told her about me and Baby, as a gentle [...]

New Virgin Atlantic Advert. There are TWO pilots on the plane, damn it!

If you’re in the UK, you probably wont fail to notice the new Virgin Atlantic advert.  I’m really in two minds about it. I love the Frankie goes to Hollywood track, and all the 80’s references; but as for all the rest of the kitch, stereotype cliche’s. PLEASE!?

Firstly, as Flying High [...]

Pilot’s who Cheat, and are then stupid enough to BRAG about it!

I wanted to draw your attention to a comment I received today. This is a ‘name and shame’ post
Firstly, I want to re-iterate that I honestly believe that in General pilots don’t cheat, it is a stereotype perpetuated by a small minority of sleazy dirtbags; but whilst this industry certainly facilitates these slime balls to induge. [...]

Crossing a (telephone) line

Bf is away on a long-haul trip at the moment. I was pretty hacked off yesterday morning. He always rings me to say goodnight wherever he is. Except on Friday night/Saturday morning. I was absolutely freaking out on Saturday morning. I must have made a million calls to his hotel and mobile phone.
As it turns [...]

Wedding politics, and guest list etiquette-Is THIS Right or Wrong?!

Bf is going to be the best man at a wedding of one of his oldest school chums, this winter.  The couple have only known each other after meeting through speed dating some 20 months or so back, and were engaged within 5 months of dating. Neither of them has been married previously; in fact, according to Bf-this [...]

The big F… ‘Furlough: the worst cockpit terror of them all’

I know that I am going to hack of readers who aren’t interested in aviation news and gossip with this post, but this is something that I am interested in knowing more about, and I also feel is important to a lot of other readers of my blog… So here it is (just ignore the [...]

Drawing your attention to a discussion going on

Over the past few days, there has been a bit of a discussion thread forming under an old blog entry of mine. Please take a look (at the link below) at the comments and respond if you feel you have anything to add…
Reminiscing about the roller-coaster of feelings I had about how I’d cope with the [...]

Frustrations

From one extreme to the other; work, having exhausted me a few weeks back; have given me NOTHING for a whole week. Not a thing. My house has never been cleaner, and I’ve been out doing lots of walking with Bf and baby during the days. This has been rather lovely; but at the same [...]
