I can remember, when flying for a foreign carrier some 12 years conducting line training to a cadet. He mentioned that he got a call for training with his country’s legacy carrier. He remarked he will have a 3 day layover on a Caribbean Sea Island. I gave him advice, which I thought appropriate. I told him to fast forward when on the B777. It’s February with miserable cold and icy weather. His spouse is sick to her stomach, home bound with three toddlers, who are also sick to their stomachs. I recommended he stay in the shade if he ventured outside. I also told him the situation would not bode well if I came home with a sun baked tan with a smile from ear to ear.
