Sorry, confirm your partner paid for RFP? It’s now a free download and you can get it from any major download site. If it isn’t too late get your money back.

As for starting, I’ll have to fire up mine and have a look.

ahem, maybe this pic wasn’t such a good idea 😀

So Barry which one out of those is you again? 😉

I thought I recognised that Spitfire, we were on approach into St Mawgan a few weeks ago in the Dash 8 and I commented about a Spit we saw in a garden below, now I know it’s yours 😀 Amazing how small the world is.

Ok ok maybe we should have been concentrating on the approach, but we could use the plane again honest 😉

(I’m sure we saw it from the air and not the ground?)

No need to merge, this thread was about the incident, the new thread is about the crew speaking out about it hence the discussions on what & why they did wrong. There was no need to drag this thread up that is close to 3 months old with the other one running using exactly the same post.

Most of what you say I agree with, they weren’t heros as such, but they did a remarkable job in saving the aircraft, just the same as the Air Transat pilots did a great job when they glided their a/c into the Azores.
100 tonnes difference in the performance calculations is unacceptable.

Your comments about 99hrs in a month being reasonable is a little ignorant. You have to remember this is flight hrs, not duty hrs. Their duty hours would be significantly more than this, and it’s duty hrs that count. It’s just a shame he didn’t reveal how long they were on duty.

What exactly are you trying to get across here? I don’t get your message. That it’s good that Ryanair’s passenger numbers are up? Great, you think that’s great for Ryanair? Sorry but the Pikey himself knows all too well that filling every aircraft every flight is irrelevant if the passengers are paying peanuts for their tickets. Ryanair is still losing millions of pounds (ok Euros for the pedants) and will continue to do so.

To think I am paying my license fee for the BBC to report this “crap” :rolleyes:
