The first time I was in London 2 years ago, I went to “The Roadhouse” @ Covent Garden one night, and it seems every bloke in the place was drinking Stella Artois. Is it rather popular in y’all parts? Also, when I flew to Jamaica in ’97, we were parked right next to an “Air UK Leisure” 763. Which charter company did they get dissolved into?

I’ve never seen or heard of any LAX or MIA versions. Michael, the one in question is in fact the BBC version.

Only once have I ever paid for airfare plus accomodation. This is when I went to Jamaica back in ’97. I paid roughly $1100US for one week accomodation at the Holliday Inn, MBJ, all inclusive (food, booze, water sports, etc. all paid for), plus travel on Air Jamaica (not a charter airline). I thought that was a pretty darn good deal. Only reason I did this is because I went with 2 cousins of mine, and they arranged it. Considering the amount I dished out, I would have preferred to have flown an airline where I get some mileage out of it. All other times, I get my airfare (on UA or some Star carrier), and worry about the hotel afterwards. Sometimes, this may come out to be pricier, but at least I get the mileage for both the airline and the hotel (plus I can upgrade), and I have some flexibility. In most instances, I have a place to stay at my destination, so I only have to worry about airfare, anyhow.

Ok, I stand corrected Wysiwyg. I will change my stance now to: WHAT ARE THE PILOTS THINKING! Don’t they want to keep their jobs AND the maple leaf in the air???

Appears to be a hill of some sort.

The USAirways colours are not black, but in fact, a dark navy blue.

I don’t think they’ve lost any 732’s. I recall an OA Dornier 228 having an incident on an island a few years back, perhaps that’s what you there thiking of?
