Dutch King reveals he's been a pilot for KLM for the last 20 years

So he’s a professional airline pilot who does king for a hobby on his days off.

I like this

That would depend on whether they are the kind of person who’s in awe of job titles. For those who aren’t, he’s their copilot and any other jobs he happens to have are as secondary to the situation as his favorite color.

An upgrade takes a couple of months of full time training and once trained you really need some solid time flying the line to get comfortable. I don’t think he’d be able to commit the time and energy required.

He may also not be flying enough to be comfortable doing an upgrade.

John Travolta didn’t fly for Qantas, he is an ambassador for them and part of the deal was that Qantas would pay the maintenance on JT’s ex-Qantas B707 and give him a type rating in a B747. The type rating is done in a simulator and doesn’t involve flying passengers for real.

Laugh of the day.

Does it have subtitles in English? I get them in Spanish but it may be due to location. If they’re only in Spanish I’ll be happy to translate them for you guys.

Whew! I thought I was the only one.
