    Could a navalized Jaguar have fufilled the fighter role? A carrier capable Mirage F-1 would have been nice.

    What truely annoys me about the whole thing is………the A/C is a 767…..AND THERE WERE ONLY 185 PASSENGERS?! Every flight I’v been on in the last 5 years has been PACKED and these people get off having only 185?! THAT IS PURE BS!!!!!!! Do you realise what the capacity of a 767-200 is? Its ALOT more than 185!!!!

    Again, personally i think its most of this week’s incidents are all hype, to keep the public believeing that the billions of pounds spent on the “War on Terror” is justified, and also to try and keep the failing support of Blair’s stance on the Middle East Crisis falling further lower. (I’m not interested in Politics one bit, but this is ovbious!)

    Yes, there is a threat, and its been there for years,even before 9/11 even, when the UK were on alert by other well known terror organizations.

    This has cost the airline industry in the UK alone, millions of pounds a day, and i can confirm tonight that a number of US citizens have cancelled their reservations in hotels, for the next 2 weeks in a number of UK tourist hot-spots, including my TIC (Tourist Info Centre where i work), Betws-y-Coed, which will only damage the economy even further!

    3 weeks today, i travel thru LHR, my god i hope this mess is rectified soon!

    I completely agree! I think most clear thinking citizens in Great Britain would accept 6 or 10 airliners blown up as long as its not too much trouble getting aboard the flight they’ve PAID for, AND being able to take carryons aboard.

    I had really been looking forward to flying on the E170…….it seems to me that we were downgraded due to lack of passengers…….We had no problem filling up the ERJ145 and even had room for a few standbys…….pretty low thing to do on UALs part……As we boarded the flight attendent actualy asked us where the flight was going and what its number was!

    Sent an email…..a real nasty one….dont expect anything will come of it……will fly Delta or American next time. Other than the plane change the trip was actualy very pleasant. Had never flown on an A320 befor……nice plane, but a little loud at takeoff. The CRJ700 was another new one for me….VERY nice………

    Bash away at Mr Bush….and the US too…..but…….in two years, Mr Bush will hand over the Presidency to another person (at this point, prob a Democrat)………something like that will not happen in Iran or Venezuela.

    Why Cougars for CSAR? That design is kinda old. Wouldn’t NH-90s be able to do that mission?
