Craig has a conversation with Anne Simpson, who just retired from 35 years of flying for the airlines. Anne flew 727s, A320s, 747s, and finished in A330s, routinely flying virtually all over the world. Anne talks about the routine of flying, and what's happening behind the scenes while most of us are in a crowd of 300 or 400 people in the main cabin of the airplane.
