As far as the takeoff rolls being long on the 727 I really don't remember much difference between then and now. Of course sitting sideways my view was not as good.

Hmmm ...
1) 24 layovers in prime spots in Europe or 10 hr layovers at the airport Holiday Inn in (it doesn't matter-ville)
2) "Non-stop buffet until happy hour" vs pretzels.
3) Afternoon sign-ins vs 0500's
4) iCrew currency pop-ups vs 5 legs/day.
5) Dinner in a cobblestone street cafe in Nice vs. TGIF in Flint.
Keep it going people! ......

The guys who have flown SVO know all about the Nightflight bar and shall we say restaurant?

There's no TGIF in Flint. Wish there was. There is a Turkey place, it's not good. At all. There is a McDonalds down the road. Don't get shot.

Article worth printing off and handing around to the flight attendants on the van ride to the hotel. Especially you ER types or any of you dozen or so 777 types.

I'm not here to rewrite the TA2015s awful sick leave language with the focus on saving the company money.
But I have a solution that will fix our sick leave abuse issues and save the company money.
The pilots need more sex.
The many joyous health benefits of having more sex - Telegraph
If we had more sex, we'd see it's a natural pain killer, combats illness, sex beats stress, helps the heart, powers the brain, increases your lifespan, and so on.
I can, if you want, go look for pictures to add to this post.
That said, this is an issue. How do you get the pilots to have more sex?
1) You increase pay.
2) You increase time home.
3) You pay for prostitutes for the single guys.
4) You might need to pay for prostitutes for the married guys.
5) Just buy prostitutes. But don't treat the pilots like they're prostitutes.
