well something has to give considering he hasn’t hedged his fuel for the next year. Ryanair’s business model is great when things are great, but no so great when things are hard, you haven’t hedged your fuel and you’ve got nowhere to go because your cost base is already so low.

Likewise Andy, he won’t get a penny out of me, ever.

IL-96?

Yes terribly sad news indeed, and to think people like Mugabe get away with it, there is no justice.

try Scott’s method and then descend at 2000fpm and see if it solves it 😉 (it won’t)

Or EAS? IAS? Mach? TAS? GS?

The clue was in the first part of my reply :p 😉

Big Brother is full of chavs made for chavs, biggest load of crap on the TV (YAWN)

Steady on Newforest

The flying drink limit is a ¼ that of the drink drive limit, 100mg is not an excessive amount, to say they were drunk is just a ridiculous statement, I have just had a large glass of white wine, I’d imagine now that my alcohol content in my blood is over the drink drive limit, let’s say 99mg? am I drunk? of course I’m not drunk, do I feel like I’ve had a drink? not in the slightest, do I drink lots? no, because I may lose my job.
I’m not condoning drinking then flying, but they were not drunk, the lady had ½ the drink drive limit in her blood, this equates to about ¾ of a pint of beer?

As usual this was an avoidable chain of events that went sadly wrong, the usual “mess with aviation and it will bite you up the ar$e” phrase springs to mind, but he wasn’t drunk.
