Jean, One of my best friends is an A380 captain and he calls it his "office job". Apart from the money (£120,000 pounds) per year he actually hates it - I should be so unlucky!
He says that he actually "flies" for about 5 minutes per day, immediately after take off and also before touchdown. Apart from that, all he does is program in flight plans, drink coffee and biscuits and make chitchat with the second captain. I guess this is not true in reality but he said that the best job he ever had was flying an old DC3 from Coventry to the Channel Islands daily. When he has a weekend off he likes nothing more than to come with me flying - what he calls "real flying" where we have fun throwing the single seater around the sky.
