Bloody Pikeys get everywhere - they've nicked the steering wheel.

And I notice the co-pilot is watching a different program on his TV.

If you think that's bad, you should have a look at a 'classic' 747's cockpit.

I drove one in BA's sim for a couple of hours. Gave me a LOT to think about. Big buzz though, you really had to wrestle with the thing.

Seems to be a lot of leg space in the new airbus, you think it's the same in economy?

Yeh, know what you mean.  When BOAC/BA installed their sim' in the early '70's, my pal was the commissioning engineer and he invited me to 'fly' it.

After an hour and demolishing Dallas and Dules highlign a few time I did make a good landing. Apparently scoring higher than most of the trainee piloits!!!

But basical its driving a very large bus in 3D.
