Think of slices of Swiss Cheese, all of the holes have to line up for an accident to happen.

Does your son fly to Saint-Petersburg? (I remember asking about it, but my inquiry appears to have left unnoticed).



Even if the pilots are complaining about lack of hands on flying practice, they always become upset once found out that one or both A/Ps are inop before flight  .

I don't honestly know - he flies Airbus A320 and I am not sure what plane is used by B.A. on that route. He has mentioned trips to Moscow a few times. He has just got back from Tehran and his next trip will be Istanbul.

I will ask him the question next time we talk.

Anyhow, no use worrying is it, usually your only in the one plane crash.

Misha - to make sure that I didn't forget I just sent my son a text.

The answer is yes - he has flown to St Petersburg several times - but not for about 6 months.  However - he has not yet spent any sightseeing time there.

  so I might have met him at Pulkovo then - I served many BA flights from 2005 till 2011, first as SAS's mechanic and Rossiya's one afterwards.
