RE: Europe’s Worst Airport?
Im sorry to hear that Sloyne, but as others have said, racism isnt just confined to England. Some areas are worse than others, where I live there is no racism at all! (from what i know of), but if you go to the more working class areas (Manchester isnt completely working class, but a lot of it is), then you are bound to find that there is more racism. Also, more drugs, alcohol abusage… its normal to find all this in areas that arent as well classed.
RE: Bad Flight?
My worst was in a DC9 (or MD80). Iberia flight from Alicante to Heathrow and it really was bad. Im not sure whether it was turbulance or what but we were all over the place. Then we went into a sudden nose dive, very steep. The stewardess with the trolley broke her arm and the trolley went flying down the alley and into the flight deck door, breaking most of it!! We were all very scared!!.
RE: PTV’s on narrow-bodies

RE: Europe’s Worst Airport?
I have nothing against either Mongu or his enemy (cant be bothered to go back and look at his name, sorry :-)!!). I wouldnt say Liverpool airport is bad because its name has John Lennon in it. However, before I say this may I let you know that I like most Americans and Canadians (since our so called European friends are a bunch of *****) but the IRA were funded by Americans and Canadians.
Many of your very wealthy businessmen gave large sums of money out.
Now, after Sept 11th you guys are starting to realise how bad terrorism actually is (since this is probably the worst you’ve had for a long long time) and we over here in England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and N.Ireland (I say that instead of the UK because I am against us all joining up, im English, not British or European, just English) are all used to terrorism. We have constantly had terrorism, you havent.
So now that we have found out that John Lennon who was for “peace” had been giving the IRA large sums of money shows that he obviously wasnt for peace in England or N.Ireland. Therefore it is ridiculous to name a nice airport or dirty rotten airport (never been there, I can say) after John Lennon. For you Americans, it is like calling the “Empire State” building “Bin Laden building”.
Let me stress again I am not racist but am a Nationalist and I would urge you guys not to argue about this subject anymore before people like me and other Nationalists of their countries do turn racist.
RE: I just got back from 4 jumpseat flights!!
The CAA made the law and they are fine with it, but the pilots cant stand it! bmi have just told their pilots that in september they will have huge changes and many more flights with a smaller salary. If the flight is delayed it doesnt matter, I saw how they cope with it in the office. What happens is that only flying time counts, so you could be flying to Heathrow from Alicante and be delayed for 5 hours, with a flight time of only 2 hours and you would have only been flying for the 2 hours which count. If the pilots are meant to be on another flight and they arent there in time, the GO office would then ask some other pilots if they could do it. Most of the time they say yes because they all know eachother and they are all friendly, but when the easyJet people move in, it wont be the same story (they hate eachother).
RE: Guess the airline and a/c!

RE: A trip back to the archives
AndrewM, which airline was it? I would probably say a Dash8 or Shorts-360. More likely the Dash 8
RE: Future of 3 engined commercial liners

RE: Hi, new to the forum
Hi Andrew.. welcome
RE: Pic of the day
Which airport is that?
RE: And now for some completel
Ahhhh. Nice to see the L1011 at the top. Pity it has nearly dissapeared. My favourite plane by far!
RE: AIRBUS or BOEING
Tough one because some Airbus’ are nice and some Boeings are nice, and vica-versa. I would have to say Boeing though because I think all aircraft should be flown with a Control Column and not a Joystick. But I do love the exterior of the A330 and A340!

RE: SPAIN
I totaly agree with kkbelos, the network is good but they need to invest more money in Barcelona desperatly. Another one I think needs working on is Valencia, but apart from that the others are normally OK.
