And in Genoa, next to the very large Ferry Terminal, a shopping Mall including a major Supermarket – and the Ferry Ticket Office is inside the Mall area so you need to go there for your tickets – clever, no?;)

The Piaggio P.180 Avanti (as discussed in “What the Heck?”
There are a couple of these in what appears to be the military area at Genoa – no obvious markings, but in a flourescent green/yellow c/s.
They really do look and sound a bit different!:cool:

Way to go – keep those feet up!

Surely, I would think, TCAS has a programmed decision maker dependant on the course being flown by each aircraft? Otherwise, it would be a system relying on which aircrafts TCAS was the first to react (eg I’ll climb, you descend).
Perhaps we can get the answer from one who knows?

Yes, that’s accepted. Perhaps I should have taken the other side and congratulated the MyTravel staff for having the courage not to call in a “sickie”! I can imagine the hassle they got.
My initial comment was perhaps initiated by memories of a 4 hour delay in Bergamo this summer when my request to speak to a rep from FlyBe was met by the reply -“There are none”.
Yes, I know I tend to support FlyBe normally but I also accept delays as preferable to flying on a “dodgy” aircraft.
(Hope I’m not digging a hole here!):o

Yes, Wys, once again you have given us the goods in an excellent sum-up.
Just one nagging doubt though – it’s all very well for members of the Forum (not directed at you) to denigrate “the local drunks”, but I wonder just how well communication was handled by the local ground staff to explain to the passengers just exactly what was happening? Thats not really the Captain’s job is it? Were the ground staff too busy to really communicate, or was there a lack of will to do so?
I might even suggest that there is a part of the Spanish character that is not willing to admit things are going wrong, (and I’m aware that there would have been local Brit employees as well) , and base my comments on my experience of living and working in the Balearics.
