   Oh yeah. Trans oceanic is one of the easier jobs these days. Doesn't   
   take rocekt science.   
   Computerised naviagation gives you pretty much nothing to do for 6-12   
   hours at a time. The autopilot follows the navigation and all you have   
   to do is check the integrity of the equipment periodically and talk to   
   ATC every now and again, and in fact, that's not all that often either.   
      
   Of course, every now and then the boredom is ripped open in a rahter   
   dramatic fashion and you earn all your pay in one moment. Like those   
   guys in Heathrow last week,.
