Apologies I know this is in terribly poor taste and I run the risk of being a douche bag, but I am just so proud of what my wife just achieved – promotion to Captain on the BA short haul fleet and she’s only been on the aircraft 12 months!
It has been a righy slog and incredibly stressful (for everyone, her, me, the kids) but she passed today.
Quite a journey from the 12 year old who decided she wanted to go flying, started learning aged 14, flew solo aged 16, got a commercial type rating when she was 20, joined BA aged 22 and is now a captain 18 years later and almost 10,000 hours on the clock.
So proud (and tired!)
