PBS will bid to +/-7.5 hrs of the ALV, unless you ask for a MIN or Max schedule.

Trying to picture how wearing long sleeves would improve the above.

Nope, can't do it.

I've vented on this already to a kind soul, but as a PSA I want to share. If you're flying into HOU and have a fed on board be prepared for a strange one with the initials BN. If you've had a similar experience with BN I'd be interested in hearing your story. Can you really tell the pilots you've just jumpseated with "You guys passed." if you never had an ATP?

Here's a picture of my shark, Jesse.

They do get hot, even the ones with the micro holes in them. Plus you have to keep up with them. The most critical issue is the cutural "me-too!" zeitgeist we live in though. I'm fine with wearing them as per ancient nautical inspired aviation tradition dictates because people love old school nostalgia and pagentry. Fine. Cool. Traditionalist. Bring it.

But its asinine that we have to wear them while the FA's don't. Most if not all global foreign airlines, especially the dual subsidized ones trying to poach our industry out from under us while pretending its merit based because of their "service" all have FA hats. Parity baby. Make em wear hats, FTW. Then we're all in this together.

Can't say.

What I can say is that those guys have one hell of a tough Nondisclosure agreement... Or so I've heard.

Veteran Delta pilots, help a new guy out here, please.

Any of you use the UFlyMike headset? Is it approved for use? Thanks in advance.

Churchill museum is fantastic along with the war rooms. They are next to each other.
Tower of London.
One of the bus tours in London allows you to get the lay of the city and pick specific sights to see more in depth.
