chrisk Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 King of the Netherlands could be your pilot if you fly KLM! How very cool. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4516050/Head-clouds-Dutch-king-guest-pilot-21-years.html?ito=social-facebook Unfortunately, the closest I have come to flying a Dutch airline is InselAir. --An interesting experience. Just google "InselAir problems" or "InselAir safety". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aviatoreb Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Cool! In fact I have a flight booked for late June from Montreal to Amsterdam on KLM already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 I guess it validates the name "KLM Royal Dutch Airlines" Clarence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDPetersen Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 Funny. When I was flying for the airlines I used to pretend to be King of Denmark on my days off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooneymite Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 I know a Dutch Air Force instructor pilot...he says the guy isn't a very good pilot and has been discouraged from transitioning to the 737... But he is the king. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who has been in the military knows the conundrum of senior officers getting check rides. They were probably great pilots in their day, but after years of flying a desk...not so sharp anymore, but they are going to make decisions about the future career of the pilots giving them the check rides..... Can you imagine the poor instructor pilot giving a check ride the "The King"? Maybe you aren't familiar with the scenario??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he is the king. "off with your head, if I fail my check ride" is a strong motivation for a pass. Clarence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
