About Pilots: Do they just turn on autopilot?

Can a plane just fall out of the sky? And what happens if the pilot needs a poo mid-flight? We ask this week's guest Flea. She is a commercial airline pilot who tells us everything we've ever wanted to know about flying a plane, including the meals they eat, why it's called a cock pit and if birds ever get sucked up into the engine. Come and see us at Pub in the Park on 18th May (Marlow) or 1st June (London)! Get your tickets here. This episode is proudly sponsored by BrewDog Punk IPA.
