this is what you call being in the right place at the right time and with the right documents

That's some airline for letting him do that.
I would expect they would require much more than his ID and pilots licence.

I agree -- guess we dont actually know who his contracted employer is but to come back with a confirmation that quick means EasyJet were comfortable

The article states the man is actually a pilot for easyJet and was going on holiday.

Are missed that bit , just loved the diy holiday approach from the guy. Wonder will he get a bonus for that one

Well he is a pilot for the airline so he obviously shown them or gave the number of his EASYJET PILOT ID.................................

Hey, Just like me. I fly my aircraft in my shorts and flip flops too.

errrr Ron why do you have an aircraft in your shorts ???? Cogitations of this are pretty adult in theme

 

[hairyspin]

Just as concerning is flip flopping while flying an aircraft. I do hope there’s plenty, er, lunch bags to hand.

I fly on my computer with a glass of booze at the window sill, a cigarette in my left hand and the joystick at my right.
AP is engaged and the flightplan is doing what it should do.
Would not want to be a real airline pilot. That is boredom most of the time.
Whenever it gets boring on a long haul, I put the sim at 4x (not to lose the AI) and then I look around and enjoy the landscape while my wife prepares dinner.
No, Flightsimming is not anywhere like the real world experience!


Cheers,

Whats the saying - A pilots life is 90% boredom 10% sheer terror ?

Sometimes the boredom is greater. A Loganair pilot told me of a standard route to an Outer Hebridean airport from Glasgow which was takeoff, one turn, land. Flight time anout half an hour. Yawn!

 

[Heretic]

Bored? Working on a flight deck?

GLA - BRR. BHD - GLA is the same but with a bit more taxi time thrown in at BHD. Oh - and the scenery isn't as pretty.

That was probably it, although I see Loganair quote a 75 minute flight to Barra, that they do, but it's the Isles, you know — there's no hurry at aal, at aal.
