RyanAir outdoes itself again!

In WHAT way? This incident has happened on many occasions to many other airlines, including some of the most “highly regarded” flag carriers. What a ridiculous comment!

It does, and has happened to other airlines but I can’t recall many where 2 a/c from the same company have collided 😉

Pakistan International, 2xB777s 13th April 2007
Alitalia 2x Md-82s 26th August 2006
I’m sure there will be more, particulalry in the USA where many airports don’t have common user gates, and consequently aircraft moving around each other are likely to be of the same airline, just as at GRO where at this time of year, many of the operations are dominated by RYR.

“A collision between two Ryanair planes” doesn’t necessarily imply or state both were at fault, in which case I see no difference whatsoever whether they’re from the same airline or not as far as slagging the airline off is concerned. 😉

Exactly.

If we can’t slag off ryanair who can we slag off? 😀

FlyMayBe????

Or Lufthansa who have a bad habit of bumping into other people’s aircraft, such as at LCY where they decided to nudge a BA Avro (21st April 2008), or at MAN where they decided to brush up against a Futura B737-800 (5th Aug 2008)

I’ve been scanned twice by these machines but it’s ok, I eat an apple everyday.

Hi all
I’m looking for information/list on commercial aircraft capable of operating with only one certified pilot. i.e Britten Norman Islander

It varies from country to country and in some ways is dependent on the type of operation/licence held, but obviously in addition to the Islander, you can count it’s big brother, the Trislander. Also the Cessna Caravan. Most small “corporate aircraft” when used as airliners would be included.

The aircraft shown in the clip are stored on the scrapping area and are not going anywhere in the short term.

Surely only those aircraft to the left of the image, I think those shown infront of the hangars may not be, but I don’t know operations at Lasham well enough to be certain of this, it is about 6 years since I was last there.

I’m a bit confused by this, why is that an error, planes fly into and out of Lasham, so why is it an error that they’re grounded by snow. There is a fair chance it disturbed some flying and therefore correctly it grounded aircraft at Lasham. :confused:

It’s 2010, I’ve been posting here for a long, long time, and yes I do realise that most of my views don’t mean very much to the vast amount of clever types that do indeed have day to day experience of the commercial aviation world that some of us mortals ‘aspire’ too. 😉 But, that for me is very much part of the charm…:)

I cannot decide what this means, are you saying you don’t like those with industry experience chipping in, or that you like the mix. I suppose I fall into the category of being one of those “clever types”, though don’t really consider myself a “clever” type, no more so than anyone is in their chosen field of work. I like this forum because of the mix, it generates some interesting discussions. Would you rather we didn’t share our knowledge and experience?

I’ve got a tremendous amount of respect for anyone who agrees to ‘mod’ this stuff, I’ve been there and done it after all. I think however that recent statements about it not being a “democratic” process will only contribute to this being an even more sparsely populated set of discussions…

IMHO…:)

To be fair, I was a member when I was still at university too. In my view I’ve got more bored of the site because there are a lack of interesting topics to get my teeth into, which was not the case 5 years ago, rather then over-zealous moderation.

However, perhaps you feel that I am one of those who is on Mount Olympus with my views?
