If ever you’ve lost your place…
I fly “co-pilot” for a national carrier. This particular dark and stormy night had me eager for some real world practice. The captain had other ideas.
Me: I’d like to fly the approach tonight if you don’t mind.
Captain: …and how many times have you flown this one before?
Me: More times than I can count.
(pause)
Captain: I’m still waiting for you to say something that might inspire my confidence.
