I presume this will be a Titan ATR for the time being.

a bit like that old Saab 340A Crossair used to operate.

I’ve got a tour of the UK to get there! Midnight 30 report at LGW to coach to BHX, operate empty to GLA, GLA-Seville, daystop Seville, Seville-GLA, position empty aircraft GLA-LGW. Yuk!

I know what you mean! That colour scheme really seems to flatter anything it is put on. Clever design.

Ren, if you’re going to Seville on Thomas Cook, I’m driving you there!

When I was cabin crew nothing peeed me off more than passengers (often women) who wold click their fingers to get your attention. I had a standard response to that – “sorry madam, but it takes more than 2 fingers to make me come”!

not very good, I know, but I tried!

dhfan – in jet transports you have to be very careful about rudder usage which is why it is not recommended in aircraft type specific ops manuals. In tiny little puddle jumpers where the speeds are low and the masses are light the rudder can be abused with relatively little worry but apply these techniques to a big jet and this is the result. This is why I have come to the conclusion I wrote in my note 2.

bhoy – yes, I forgot to mention in my original post that I would like to know a lot more about the Interflug incident at SVO. We’ve got loads of eastern bloc specialists on the forum, perhaps they can shed more light.
