Tales from the Departure Lounge

This is the REAL life pilot episode! Tony Eyles is a first officer flying for British Airways. He joins the TFTDL flight crew to answer all your questions about planes, pilots and passengers. We take to the skies to talk about everything from turbulence to the Bermuda triangle, in an extremely honest interview about the aviation industry.
Where do the crew disappear to half way through a flight? What do you do in the event of terrorism or a medical emergency? What does a 'heavy' pilot do? Assume the brace position and put yourself in Tony's capable hands... just don't critique his landing.
Final boarding call: Amritsar, India
