My personal rules were that, even if the weather was below minimums, I would try one approach, if unsuccessful, then to divert to the flight planned alternate (unless the airport was snowed in or similar) .
I have to agree with Paul, also surely if the weather was below the published minima, i.e, the only limiting minima for making an approach is visibility for a particular type of approach, if this is the case (which it is) then surely an approach ban would be in force preventing an approach in the first place?
Not today but last Friday.
Death to all caravans and holidaymakers, took me another 3hrs to get to work including 6 miles in 1hr 5 mins.
Maybe the holidaymakers should get in the caravans and then drive off a cliff or something 😉

Thanks for the enlightenment aarenlainey 🙂
Stunning find Steve, love the pic.
Wow
You’ve missed the whole point entirely, When did I ever say you wouldn’t complain to the airline? When did I ever say anything contrary? My whole argument was purely, and in it’s own entity that it is not the airline that loses the bags, but the ground handlers. You seem to have manufactured that I said you should not complain directly to the airline, of course you should, it’s rather “dumb” to suggest otherwise.
Superior attitude? I’m afraid you’ll have to look in the mirror on that one, since when did this turn into a status and earnings debate? I couldn’t care less if you were a demi-god on £1m per year, good for you.
No, not at all, that is a dumb comparison to make. The baggage is handed over in good faith at the Check in desk allocated by the airline. The fact that the baggage handler below stairs is on £4 per hour and doesn’t give a rats-ass about my bag is the problem of the collective airlines for allowing the management to employ such carefree employees in the first place. The original baggage handlers went on strike in the 1980’s and were subsequantly slowly replaced by lower paid contract staff. Oh how they were ridiculed for going on strike.
Naa it’s not dumb at all, it’s exactly the same mentality, and exactly the same complaints you hear time and again from passengers who go out of their way to make the cabin crew’s life as miserable as possible when things don’t go their way.
Who the airport authorities employ is nothing whatsoever to do with the airlines, that is for them to choose. What it has got to do with the airlines is if there are contractual issues that are being broken, then the airlines can pull them to task, it is up to the airport authorities how they go about putting that right.
Good, then you will realise that making a sweeping statement that all pax are likely to blame the airlines for things that are clearly nothing to do with the airlines was indeed the typical remark made by aloof crew members that assume all their pax know nothing about the aviation industry, and are indeed nothing more than talking baggage.
As for turning up late, that is only on the Pikey airlines that I wouldn’t bother with. I’ve seen those idiots on “Airport”.
No, the sweeping statement meaning is a figment of your imagination, I said “typical passenger mentality”, and I stand by what I said. This mentality comes from the passengers who complain in this way, it is these passengers who know very little about aviation, because if they did they wouldn’t complain about it the way they do. It’s the ones who know about aviation that have a bit of rationale about them and are accepting when things don’t go to plan.

Who the hell do you think you are? Now who’s generalising? I can tell you now that the majority of passengers don’t know much about aviation. Don’t put words in my mouth, it was you who said that, it twas not I who said that, or implied it, you seem a very angry individual, you might want to google some relaxation techniques.
Dumb?
Phew, now I feel better.
Typical passenger mentality, it’s like when you turn up late and you don’t get accepted, I suppose that’s the airline’s fault too? If there’s a weather delay and the destination is fogged out, that’s the airline’s fault too right? The list goes on 🙂
I’m not really sure why they say “airlines” lose their bags; they don’t, in most cases the airport authorities lose the bags and the airlines get the blame. Once the bags leave the aircraft it is out of the airline’s hands. What do they think we do? Open the cargo door and dump them in the Atlantic? :rolleyes:
Sandy you need to get out more 😉
I despise the guy, but he does make me laugh, and his comments are spot on.
This is a Seneca V owned partly by Mick Hucknell, they were flying it on the AOC of the flying school I instruct at, not sure if this is still the case now though, they do charters in it. This Seneca V is absolutely stunning inside and out, a beaut. It had engine issues though when it was first delivered that Lycoming sorted out, there was a manufacturing defect in certain parts. Anyway all that is irrelevant, but that’s what the aircraft is.
Hope this helps Jon

Now you’re just showing off :p

Any chance you can make that pic any bigger? I’m struggling to see it with my old eyes 🙂
