Hey, I heard that! I'm a pilot, I'll take anything that's free! Where do I get mine? ;)

Go to GOJET, they are fully staffed with them.:rolleyes:

You will be fine if you wear some tin foil on your head. Always have an extra sheet or two in the flight bag.
Just line the inside of your cap (with the foil) and wear that in the cockpit preferably. Less funny looks from passengers that way!:confused:

Common mistake!! You have to use the heavy duty tin foil and if you go above FL250, you can't use the foil more than 3 times before it picks up possibly fatal particles.

You can find a good supply here. http://tinyurl.com/2yk2dh

This topic was discussed on one of the meetings I have participated. Is there a correlation between this and the rumor that FedEx pilots' lifespan is shorter than average Americans? I've heard that more than once from various people.

Tin foil will actually aggravate the situation, just like aircraft aluminum causes radiation to be even more harmful. Only way to protect yourself would be to wear an anti radiation space suit complete with a helmet and your own oxygen tank! Don't forget your anti radiation gloves!

Well I've always liked a little radiation in the morning...
