Son moving to left seat

[Basil]

Oldest son has been flying right seat in a 737 for a cargo carrier for a couple of years now. Just learned yesterday that he has passed the test and the check ride and is now a Captain and will be flying left seat.

Does the left seat mean the same thing on British Airways?

Tell him the most important thing is to have the same number of landings as takeoffs. Best of luck to him.

Super news! Aircraft Commander! Congrats!

Odly enough he was already and AC on the KC135 (He's still in Reserves), now he also a Captain in the the Commercial world.

Congrats! Does that mean you get to fly for free now?
Do you get to ride in the cockpit too?

Congratulations to him.

I think the left seat is always Captain or Pilot in Command.

I'm pretty sure they're right hand drive.

I'm pretty sure they're right hand drive.

Doesn't matter either way - Lucas electronics they aren't flying anywhere.

A/C in a tanker has GOT to be more challenging than hauling freight or flying cattle cars! :wink:
