<p>I had to laugh at the story about the Egyptian pilot wanting to be "elevated" aboard using the gangway - same exact thing happened on my ship when I went through there. We also refused, hahaha (you would think that they could be like the other 99% of pilots in the world who use the freakin ladder).</p>
