Closer To Heaven

HARLO Evibudi.. Finally got a chance to blog a few sentence since i started back my training. YEs I got a job now. I’m no longer sitting at home rotting nor talking to the ceiling or the tv. I have a decent job where i can still see pweety pweety girls everyday. Well started with the company since June and so far training has been crazy and mad. GOne were the days I could sleep early and wake up late(hibernation), nowadays its almost unheard of that i get a decent 6 hrs sleep. Ground training is finally over after a hectic 2 months. Two weeks of fix base simulator and another two weeks of high tech full flight simulator(FFS) CAT D. Simulator was so real that i had my jaws open the entire first day of FFS. I couldnt believe the graphic or the motion created by the sim. I just sat in the whole session admiring the system rather than doing my job. Lucky the boss wasnt there. Its just amazing.Just landed my real jet about two days back. Some people ask me what is the feeling of landing a multimillion jet, my answer is I dont feel any difference. The feeling is the same as landing a four seater prop-plane. I didnt get all excited through the whole session partly because my mind was still thinking I was in the Simulator rather than Uncle Tony real jet. Had a chance to observe a flight last Sunday( Yes I skipped Church, wuahahahahaha) to Tawau. Again at somtimes my mind was still stuck in the simulator that I got disorientated not because the capt did a loop or watsoever but just because there was cabin crew coming in to the cockpit politely asking us if we needed any drinks. Now that part training dept never simulated..hehe. Even after landing in Tawau, i was so engrossed with the amount of paper work that needed to be done during 25mins turnaround that i forgot again we have actually landed in east malaysia. Only realise my TRUE position on the face of the Earth, just as we were going back to KUL then telling myself "Wow I’m back in East Malaysia". So yes, after 10 sessions of the incredible simulator your mind just forgot the real world. Had a shock of my life during my flight to Tawau. I have heard stories that many passenger are first time flyers and they do all kind of funny things since the airline gives cheap flights. Being on my first time flight on my own airline, I too felt a little funny working with an airline i have never flew with before. My instructor once told me to inform the cabin crew if we ever wanted to use the toilet so they will check the toilet first before we go in so tht we dont get unnecessary surprises. Well I thought i was smart and ignored the advice since i could check is the toilet is unoccupied from the cockpit system. I excused myself during the long cruise and headed for the toilet. Of course I had other motives besides going to the toilet. I wanted to check out the cabin crew at work..haha..Im only human.. When my eyes was lock on to the crew my hand was already holding the toilet door handle. As I pull open the door and turn towards the toilet I almost shouted. i thought I had saw a ghost on flight. There was someone inside urinating. Quickly shut the door and look towards the passenger. Some of them were already smiling at me. Then only I remembered my instructors advice. After doing wht i had intended to do myself, I headed back to cockpit smiling and told my senior about it. We were all laughing. Really I can now prepare myslef futher for any extra surprises/ adventures in the skies with the new company. Okay gotta go back to studies and flight prep, flying over to East Malaysia again. This time I will try to keep up with the real world. And hope to meet a pweety girl in the toilet…hehehe
