I can barely ride on the MD88 jumpseat without having a panic attack! Once I almost screamed out, "We're all going to DIE" while watching them do the taxi check!
There were hands flying all over the cockpit, clickers clicking, buzzers buzzing, lights flashing...
I did manage to say, "You guys work wayyy too hard!" And the F/O just turns and looks at me with this, "What are talking about?" look on his face.
The 777 will make you lazy, fat and stupid real quick, and Son, that's no way to go through life!
