This weekend was FAB! Bf and I took baby to see his parents. Whilst we were there, Bf had an aerobatics flying lesson that his parents bought him for his birthday. Baby and I went along to ‘watch’. Unfortunately, all we got to witness was his take off, as they were far clear of the […]
Bf has just landed from a VERY short stay in the West Coast of the States. He left at 9am on Friday from one UK airport on his body clock flew the 9.5 hour trip there (arrived at his hotel late in the evening on his body clock, but early afternoon in the States), had less than 24 […]
This morning I dropped Bf off at the airport at 7am. He was off to do a bullet Long-Haul trip (a trip where you fly there one day, and return the next without a clear day’s rest. This means that 3 pilots are required for the trip home instead of the usual 2, to allow for the […]
It’s an issue that receives a great deal of media coverage at the moment. I am not going to get massively drawn into the aviation industry’s impact on the global carbon footprint debate, because
My partner’s career, and our financial stability depend on this industry-along with thousands upon thousands of others, and
People will not stop using […]
I had to drop Bf off for his refresher course this morning. It was prior to the school run, so we bundled the whole family into the car for the ride. On the way, I said
“Daddy’s going to be in a classroom today, just like you boys… Pilot’s never stop learning, do you Daddy?”
Bf: “No, […]
Well, it is absolutely tipping down outside. I really can’t stand this rubbish weather. I am SO jealous that Bf is lying on a beach in Mexico again today. He said it was 29°C yesterday!
I would give anything to be able to jet off every week or two like he is!
Apparently, on his flight out, […]
The weather here isn’t great, but it seems that in other areas of the UK only a few hours away it is quite a bit worse. Bf is working out of a different base for a couple of days. He was supposed to take off at around about lunch time. At about 3pm he texted […]
Well, Bf came home from his second day in the sim happy… Apparently the training Captain assessing them congratulated them on a superb performance; saying he’d not seen another flight deck team handle the scenario better.
He told Bf that he was up to Command standard, and he was chuffed that yet another glowing report about […]
How funny is this? When Bf landed in Canada, the crew that relieved them of duty recommend this nice restaurant they all went to… So last night they made a reservation for the restaurant, and bundled into 2 taxis to go there.
So him, and the other 5 from his taxi share, arrive first and are sat […]
Well, Bf is on the Canada trip I was dreading so much, but it’s not been so bad… Last night was a pain, because baby was up for what felt like ALL night. I finally got to sleep at 5am, only to have Bf ring me at 5:40am to say goodnight. I didn’t mind being […]
