Well, I guess “interesting” is a good word for it.
I can assure you though, that it hasn’t been all fun and adventure.

Fun and adventure have quite often been superceded by near death experiences and long boring flights far from home.

Along with co-piloting guys who can't land IFR...anything ever come of that episode?

Still on the books, I guess. But, I’m done with it.

He was recommended for another phys. Mainly vision tests I’d venture to say. They did find his experience with night IFR approaches in type to be pretty much all in the simulators. (Like that’s a big surprise.)

The company he was to fly for had me out for some questions and opinions. I kept both brief. Last I heard he was still on staff, but I got the impression it wasn’t as Chief Pilot.
