My 10 year old son got to help start an A320 the other day. We were
boarding and the pilot called us into the cockpit to talk to my son. We talked shop for a bit and then asked my son if he wouldn't mind starting the APU and getting the bleed air going (the ground crew were disconnecting the air cart). He showed him the buttons to press and he did it. After we took off the Captain got on the speaker and thanked my son for helping get the plane started!! -Robert

What I meant to say was "too cool!" -- Jim in NC

There is a program called ATOPS where you fly a 737 simulator down at
Continental's training center in Houston. I did it last year and it was a BLAST!!! Really felt like you were flying. Google ATOPS for info.
