WT F? You guys that think there is something special about crossing the pond must be on crack. It is simply about procedures and contingency plans.

Get off your high horse.

I have have 17,000 hours and approaching a thousand of ocean crossing from a 727 to a 747, same sh*t different day. Get over yourself, You are not anything special. You just do your job, and hopefully you do it correct, so I don't have to do it for you.

*** Ok that's a little harsh, but you get the point. just do the job you were trained for and all will work out.
