Are any of you folks a fan of saving en route during a long flight? (Ex. Seattle => Hong Kong) w/o time accelleration. Many of us only get to
put in a few hours at a time and those longer flights to some do appeal. What joy to be halfway across the pacific and have an engine go
out or have hydralics lost. Imagine halfway to Hawaii and some type of panic happens. I get the impression that simply accellerating time
on those long trips slightly overrides the essence of scanning instruments, feeding/entertaining the pax, encountering weather
conditions etc.
I know a long flight is like watch paint dry but then again I'm an oil painter artist and so I have patience like you wouldn't believe!
Cheers!
