Flew wit Aeroflot to Australia………never again.On the stopover from Bankok the doors over the wings were open for cleaning for some reason and when the air hostess shut it there was a warning beeper going off.She shut it a few times and it was still going off so the captain was called.He came down and gave it a good hard slam..the whole cover came off in his hands!! with the bleeper still going he said `oh it`ll be ok` and we took off……………….one did crash a couple of weeks later but never did want to know if it was our aircraft.

Thought the pilot with the turbans earphone set -up was just as interesting PJ.
