I reckon he was either starting up fight clubs around the world without his other self knowing, or he's running from interpol.

Hello

No airline would have that kind of schedule. Pilots have to have rest periods.

Steve.

ChrisB

International drug runner?

Jerome

IIRC, he works for an airline, but not as a pilot.

So you didn't take my advice and resign whilst you were in Oz....

I'd still tell your boss to stuff the job though

Sipie, it was a bloody good suggestion m8, what a place Syndney is. But a gorgeous wife and two gorgeous kids brought me back. And to be fair to the boss, she got someone else to do the presentation. Nat21, yep, way too many sectors to fly. If pilots flew that sort of schedule, i'd take the boat!

I was on a fact finding mission looking at aircraft noise and track keeping systems.
I've been on so many planes, sat in so many airport louges, had so may meals and seen so many films, its all merged into one long trip. Body is numb, no idea what my body clock is telling me, am i hungry, no, full up, no, tired no, energetic, no.
Weird feeling.

I sympathise! A few years ago I did this:


Leave Mongolia, arr. Peking. Spend the night.

Leave Peking, arr. Japan. Spend the night.

Leave Japan, arr. New Zealand. Stay two weeks.

Leave NZ, arr. Japan. Spend the night.

Leave Japan, arr. Peking. Spend the night.

Leave Peking, arr. London. Connect to Copenhagen. Spend the night.

Leave Copenhagen, return London. Spend the night.

Leave London, arr. Brussels. Spend the night.

Leave Brussels, arr. London. Connect to Peking (redeye). Spend the night.

Leave Peking, arr. Mongolia.



When we arrived in Peking for the last time, I shut the curtains and went to sleep. Got woken up by a call – “Mr Hughes, are you staying the night?”

I pretty much knew I was Mr Hughes, but that was it. I didn’t know what country, or what continent I was in, I didn’t know if it was day or night, and I had no idea where I was going the next day! She had to wait a bit for a sensible answer…

That brought a genuine smile to my face, mad dr.

Remind me to never get involved in a job that consists of that sort of schedule.
