I think I've mentioned that recently I've been working on the narration for a DVD which will be used to train Pilots on the Airbus A319/320/321. It's a "How to fly the company way" type of thing.

Jon, the man producing this DVD has got a little fed up of asking for just one more change. I've just voiced ,,,one more change .... Below is the email received from Jon.

Hi Philip,

I just spoke to them and, again, they have sent me one more final change they say this time!

Richard who is the main manager says he can offer you 30 mins in an A319 simulator in Gatwick if you are interested?

Anyway if you can do this I would be forever in your debt!:


I think as freebies go it's too good to miss, don't you?

Philip,

I certainly think that would be worth the trip to London! Good for you.

See if you can get it going supersonic.

If they don't like that, go for the 1g barrel roll.

Try not to scream like a little girl in the simulator. It'll ruin your voice for the day.

Jeff, I'd take bets on that one.

At least they're not offering to toss him in a Beluga simulator. Those things are ugly as sin (and a real PITA to fly from what someone was telling me).

Greg,

I think getting any simulator off the ground would be pretty tough. But, what do I know? Laugh

And as the 30 minutes seem to be over, just STAY THERE and state that you won't leave after performing "one more final move"... repeat that sentence a zillion times, or at least as many time they made you voice 'one more final change' cool

Oh... next time... simulate your voice Sarcastic
