I flew a 777 today, and other thoughts...

My life...I can't even really figure it out right now. This month has been soooo busy, I don't even know where all i've been or how the time has flown by so quickly. I haven't had a moment's peace from crew scheduling...At least I got to see Tel Aviv! AND...I can now say that I have operated a Boeing 777-200. ;) On the flight back from London-Heathrow, I worked up in BusinessFirst (which I somehow had managed to avoid on the 777 before) and so, instead of blocking (like I normally end up doing) I actually went into the cock pit when one of the guys needed a bathroom break. Normally, you just sit there and chat with the FO or the captain, whoever is up there and not in the bathroom. This time, the FO told me to take the captain's seat! I was a little unsure of that, and even more unsure of when he told I was going to fly the plane. ;) He got a radio that we need to lower down to 34,000 feet from 37,000 feet. He told me which dial to turn down to 34 and then to press the button in! YIKES. ;) I flew a 777! It was very cool of the FO to let me do that, I felt like it gave me wings for a minute. ;)
