It was only when I arrived at the airport that they handed me a navy blue peaked cap, some nice gold wings and told me I was the Captain. I was a bit dubious when the co-pilot turned out to be a spotty 12 year-old whose mum had paid for his upgrade, but he said he'd been playing it on X-box for years and the checks were a breeze. I just sat there looking important and taking the credit whilst the magic happened around me. It was a lot like being back at work" said Mr Bloggs, a Local Government Officer. " The Head Stewardess popped in and said "Don't worry, it's all done by computer now" and pressed a couple of buttons to get us started. I asked her what we'd do if there was some minor problem that we'd turn into a disaster, but she said she was sure we would be just as good as Air France if that happened, so I was reassured.
Frankly, I don't know why every airline doesn't do it!"Posted 1 year ago # -

..and my favourite flying joke.
