This is your captain

I was fairly early for my flight back from Amsterdam today so I chose to sit in seat 1A. Which meant I got to sit next to a pilot catching a lift back to London. Didn't really have much to say to him but until he got to pages 10 & 11 of the complimentary Daliy Mail he was reading:

The story of BA flight 009 and the words every passenger dreads

link The story has a happy ending and seeing I wasn't a nervous flyer he was quite chirpy and enjoyed chatting about it. If anything he sounded a little envious of incident and the opportunity it gave the pilot to be so understated.
