Credit to the photographs



I would like to thank Brian Losisto (Air Canada's photographer) for always allowing me to post his pictures. (The above thrust lever pic is his). Then there is Kelly Paterson from Calgary and plane spotter "Erik" from Germany. Of course, I have lots myself. On that note, if you feel a photo(s) may be in appropriate or the content I post a bit dubious by all means send me an email. I will ratify it! That's all I ask.

...I hope you enjoy the blog...

P.S I'd like to add Nadia from "la belle province" for her contributions!

Pilot Perks

Some lucky A320 crew had quite the visitor...Victoria Beckham. No, it wasn't me and yes I'm jealous. I know one thing... most of my F/Os would prefer to look at her than me. :)

One word...BAM! I'll go where she's going! :)

Giulia said...

She looks uncomfortable sitting on those icky seat covers... (giggle)

Giulia. I was thinking the opposite. lol

Actually, the white seats are our newer models.

And speaking of models.... :)

Duane. I concur. :) Captain Doug

Joe said...

Very nice. For some reason the Otto Pilot scene from the movie Airplane comes to mind ;>)

From the Flight Deck said...

Joe. I'm not going there. :)

Nice one Joe. Good call Capt.

carlton said...

my beloved is flying air canada - crossing the atlantic between LHR and YYZ as I type this, but I am sure she would prefer David Bekham in the flight deck

From the Flight Deck said...

Hi Carlton. Someone suggested (a female reader) if Victoria is going to be in the flight deck then David should be serving drinks in the back.
I think he is overrated...now Victoria on the other hand.... :) :) :)

LHR-YYZ? Just visiting or continuing on?

carlton said...

yes, David is overrated! I think Baby Spice is the best ; )

Although we live in London my girlfriend is from Toronto, so she is visiting her family (her Dad is very ill) - she only flew back from YYZ to LHR on Sunday and now she is flying outbound again for another week - she is certainly helping keep Air Canada in buisness

Giulia said...

...who cares if David is overrated. He can serve me drinks ANY time. :)

carlton said...

Hopefully Mr Beckham can serve the drinks better than he served the 'free-kick' at the 2004 world cup, lol

Giulia said...

Ha ha...good one! :)

But frankly, soccer wouldn't be on my mind at the time....

:) :)

From the Flight Deck said...

Carlton. I guess he didn't "bend it like Beckham" on that kick. Maybe he had other things on his mind...ahem. :)

From the Flight Deck said...

Giulia. Re: Victoria in the flight deck.

Soccer wouldn't be on my mind either, nor would flying for that matter. :)

I hope my wife doesn't read this post.

Or else she might "bend me like Beckham." :)

Captain Doug

P.S I see you changed your pic. :)

Of course, one can't tell from the photo, but I would guess that the Right Seat was EXTREMELY jealous of the Left one...

From the Flight Deck said...

Yes Dan, if seats could only talk. lol

Lakotahope said...

Yeah, I would like to look at her instead, but there had better be a pilot in that seat when we're off the ground...or one in the other seat.

From the Flight Deck said...

Lakotahope. Can't we make an exception just this one time???? lol

Giulia said...

Ha ha ha...oh Captain Doug!

Don't worry about your wife caring about your comments. She'll be in J Class with me, paying very close attention to Beckham when he bends...

:)

From the Flight Deck said...

Giulia. I was going to make a comment, "my wife would probably be looking out the window when he bends..." or "you guys can have Beckam in the back as long as I'm locked up front with...."

I better stop while I'm ahead... lol
