One Night In Las Vegas

I have been going to Las Vegas since before I qualified as a pilot. If you have never been there then you have no real concept of what the place is, and if you have not been there recently then you have no idea of what awaits you when you next go back. It is the most amazing city in the world and I always jump for joy when I see Vegas on my flying schedule.

I spent 24 hours in Vegas this past week. I always try to stay at either Caesars Palace or The Mirage, but on this trip I stayed at The Palms, A fantastic resort about a mile and a half off of the main strip.

I was sitting in the bar at about 9pm when a group of girls came in. They all walked over to the bar and ordered their drinks. One of them saw me and kinda smiled at me, I of course smiled back.
I thought nothing more of as they all went away from the bar and sat down at a table on the other side of the room. About an hour later the girl who had smiled at me came back to the bar and sloped up beside me. We got talking and she was very nice, I found she was in fact a blackjack dealer at the hotel.
After a while I noticed her friends had left, I asked her if she would like to come up to my room, she smiled, winked at me and said "OK".

The next day when I woke up she had already left the room. On the table she had left a note, it read `Sorry I had to leave early, Had a great night, Thanks'.
Under the note was a $100!!!!! Now she knew I was a Airline Pilot so although I may look like a male prostitute I should not have been paid, but when I thought about it, If she thought I was one of the men of the night, then $100 for a whole night!!!

Another Day In Paradise

I have just returned today from a 48 hour stop-over in Cuba. Now its not a place I go to very often, in fact since my airline started flying there I have only been scheduled three times.

The route from the airport to the hotel goes through some very run down neighbourhoods. The sort of places when you are stuck at traffic lights kids come up to the window of your car begging for money. These kids have no shoes on their feet and no shirts on their back, these kids come from real poverty.

On the way back to the airport yesterday afternoon I stopped at a set of lights in one of these neighbourhoods. This little boy of about 4 or 5 years old comes and knocks on my window, he holds his hands out and just looks at me. Tourists are advised to not give money to these kids because the kids give it to parents who use it as drug money, but I am a real sucker and find it impossible to resist, so i wound my window down and gave him the eqivalant of about £5.

I drove off knowing full well what he would do with it but there is always that chance that his parents may use it for food. It makes me realise how lucky we all are to live in a civilised country, sure we all complain about prices and the weather and high taxes, but you what, we really do live in paradise!!!

MUST READ

The new Suzanne Portnoy book is out `The Not So Invisible Woman`. Get to your local bookstore or on Amazon and get this book, it is fantastic and I say that as a bloke. Also get Suzanne's first book ` The Butcher, The Baker, The Candlestick Maker` if you have not already read it. They are quite brilliant books.

Hotel Porn

I stay in hotels all over the world and I do sometimes check out the hotel t.v and its porn offerings. Now In America they show hardcore but never the cum shot.....never understood this theory. They show anal, group sex, blowjobs, the lot but apparently the hotels of America think that showing spunk shots is immoral and corruptable?????

In England they show 18 rated videos. The stuff you could go and buy in HMV.

In Asia, most hotels don't show porn, well I say that, what they mostly show is badly filmed Japanese porn which manly consists of a guy walking along a street filming fast 2 second shots up an unsuspecting girls dress. Maybe this gets the Japanese going, doesn't do anything for me.

In Austraila they show hardcore porn in hotels but they use those distorted boxes over the offending parts!!!

Now you might ask why a 28 year old pilot on night stop-overs in some of the most amazing locations in the world would spend his time studying the differentials in hotel tv porn. Well the answer is simple, I have flown to every destination that my company flies to about 50 times over, some more than that, so hotel porn is often all I can be bothered with.
I just wish hotel owners would stop assuming that I am corruptable and should not be shown this stuff. In answer to that, I was corrupted a long time ago.

Whoever said pilots lead a glamorous life??

HOORAH FOR HOLLYWOOD

I spent Wednesday night in Los Angeles on an overnight stop-over. I got chatting to a girl in a bar at the hotel. She told me all about the many failed auditions she has been too and how most hollywood directors are creeps.
I ended up with her naked in my hotel room and spent a very pleasent night having amazing sex with this very hot girl. The next morning I had to leave at about 10am to get back to the airport, she kissed me farewell and slipped me a piece of paper with her cell phone number on it for when I was next in town.
On the way back to the airport I was relaying this story to my taxi driver, he said that for a man in uniform hollywood is an open door but for actors and actresses its just easier to shag the men in uniform's, still not sure what he was getting at, answers on a postcard!!!

WELL DONE TO B.A PILOTS

I qualified as a pilot just over four years ago. I have flown around 480,000 miles. The biggest thing that a pilot fears is total engine failure. That complete loss of power turns your plane into a huge glider, at the mercy of the winds and gravity. What happened to those two British Airways pilots at Heathrow has happened to me, but mercifully only in the simulator. It takes extreme skill to try to keep an aircraft aloft without any power, especially during the critical times of take-off and landing. The demands on engines are greatest at these times as is pilot skill and concentration.

I don't work for British Airways but every pilot will offer their congratulations to those two B.A pilots who's flying skills undoubtedly saved many lives and a major disaster. Had those engines failed 30 seconds earlier and the outcome would have been very different so yes they were lucky too. However this is one of those occasions when the skill of man outdid the capabilities of machine!!

ITS MY BIRTHDAY

Today is my 28th birthday. I am having to celebrate it with a night flight to Tokyo later on.
Nothing like the cockpit of a 747 to have my co-pliots sing happy birthday to me!!!!

I went to this club in New York the other day, A middle aged guy was next to me at the bar, he says his wife left him for another man, I said I'm sorry to hear that, he says no its ok really I have been screwing her friend. `oh` I say, so whats the problem. Well he says her friend who I screwed and the guy she left me for is the same guy!!!!!! God I love america

Christmas In......Miami

I arrived in Miami yesterday ( short 48 hour stop ). I left London in freezing temperatures and arrived into 78 degree sunshine. Its very nice and all that but it never feels like Christmas when I go anywhere warm.

However of course the beaches are full of very hot girls and this pilot is taking life easy for a few hours. However ignore all that rubbish that pilots and cabin crew are basically shagging our way around the world, its a myth, I wish it wasn't but there you go!!!

Screw It. Lets Do It!

OK, now first things first, I want to say thanks to girlwithaonetrackmind for telling me to go for it. I first read Abby's book about nine months ago and then started reading her online blog. Reading it from a male perspective I laughed and cried. I have been single for six years and I saw myself in some of those scenarios but from the other side of the table.

I cant promise that my posts will be anywhere near as good as Abby's but I will try my best.

I wont reveal my real name but I will tell you a bit about me. I am 28 years old and I live in London. I work as a commercial airline pilot ( First Officer ) for a major international airline. I am single as I said and I have no kids.

My job obviously takes me far and wide and I will often be posting from some far flung corners of the world. It won't all be about sex though, I often think of things that I would like to write down so hopefully this will be the place.

All comments and suggestions will be most welcome, I am new to this so assistance and help will be much appreciated.
