Ok you two, enoughs enough. I’m getting rather scared that at this rate neither of you are ever going to attract girlfriends! 😉

JMC wasn’t amalgamated into Thomas Cook, it just changed its operating title.

Condor were supposed to become Thomas Cook Germany as that was the wish of C&N Touristik who puchased Thomas Cook in the UK and renamed themselves Thomas Cook AG.

Yes, you could end up having Thomas Cook UK while Condor either operates under its own name or goes belly up.

The oldest 757’s didn’t come with headrests!

Thomas Cook UK made record profits last year and was one of the most profitable (if not the most profitable) UK charter airline.

Now if only the Germans would stop taking all our profits to shore up their failures…

It’s a picture of Titan, one of the moons that orbits Jupiter(?).

I can’t imagine there being any turboprops that are certified for the use of reverse pitch inflight but if you read the posts above you will see that it is possible to override the devices that are designed to prevent the crew from doing so. The strange question to be answered is why do flightcrew feel the need so often to manually override these devices. I never felt the urge to kill myself by such means when I flew them!
