I thought the crew were dual based at both GLA and EDI.

Well I have to say that if you compared that report to what EAL was writing last summer it is absolutely excellent. Well done EAL-King and thanks for the effort you have made. I’m particularly keen to hear your report on Guernsey.

Not an answer but an observation – the airlines bring it upon themselves by serving alcohol on board… No drink: no aggressive behavour. Yes?

I can’t disagree with what you say, Flood…but the problem is that if my charter airline stopped serving alcohol tomorrow and the rest continued, we’d go bust in weeks. In essence it’s the right thing to do but also commercial suicide. On that basis, if you were the MD would you do it?

The General Discussion forum is an ‘anything goes’ forum. This is an airline specific forum and therefore should not be used like the chat room the GD forum is used as.

I used to go to Boston fairly frequently a few Years ago. The bar was/is called Cheers however the inside doesn’t look anything like how it did in the program. Had one beer and went elsewhere!

My company SOP’s mandate the use of autoland when the visibility is below Cat 1 minima however there are other types of adverse weather conditions where you would be obliged to do a manual landing. A classic example would be windy conditions. Most commercial aircraft with autoland capability have crosswind/headwind/tailwind limits that are more restrictive than normal operations so in strong wind conditions a manual landing must be made.

Your car insurance will never get cheaper. All that happens is you realise you can justify the insurance cost of upgrading to a higher risk car!

Happy birthday
