    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Fill a Ryanair (or similar) 737 up with passengers and head off transatlantic and you will be swimming the second half of the journey. It can only do it when near empty of passengers.

    The FAA has (as far as I am aware) the most exemptions filed from ICAO of any aviation authority, including using your own airspace definitions.

    It would have looked so much nicer if it didn’t have that bulbous business on top of the fin!

    I read about David Jefferies death in the weekend papers. I had only just read the article about him in June’s Bike magazine.
    Barry Sheene made himself very unpopular over his views on the TT but I’ve got to say I’m with him on this subject. I just don’t think it’s worth it, but if you want to do it, well that’s your problem.

    I left Virgin after 9 years in 1998 on £9,500! BA pay the sort of salaries you are quoting but a small operator of 19 seaters will never have that kind of dosh…it’s also 25% more than the salary I was on as a Saab340 FO!

    Mongu – 19 seats or less doesn’t require cabin crew in JAR states either, however some airlines will include a flight attendant for good customer relations.

    Now I’m trying to decide which is worse, being 3-3 or in a one four sick!

    If only that were true! North America is one of the hardest markets to find work in, even if you are type rated!

    WD – I hadn’t evem noticed the ‘stabilons’ yet! It’s interesting that the strakes weren’t lengthened in order to remove the need for the ‘tail-lets’.
    What other types have you operated commercially?

    I can’t find anything doing a search but I had heard from several sources that an Olympic 732 had departed the runway and ended up in the drink at Corfu in the 80’s.
