    RE: Airline food

    Hmmm i remember a flight on lufthansa last year from cairo to munich on this dreadful a319 and we were served something that resembled dog food which i could not stomach.And a small amount of cold ravioli with it.I have never vomitted in a plane but i did on that flight.We transferd to a flight to athens where the food was a hole lot better on this LH flight.Emirates serves some great meals but i am biased working for them.

    RE: Favourite & worst looking airliner of all time

    the 777 300 is a great bird

    RE: Both

    the 777-300 is a delight to fly but a little hard to move around on the ground cos of its sheer size
    that is my view as a 777 pilot i have never flown an airbus but ii have flown in plenty of them and dont like them to much

    RE: What will survive?

    in a few months i dont think so you should see the downturn in airline bookings for forward months at emirates we have cut flights as capacity is not warranting these flights
    singapore air has trimmed schedules and cut flights aswell as cathay pacific emirates swissair now bust qantas and the american airlines aswell this is gonna take a long time to recover from.The americans are not flying across the pacific in sustainable numbers on cathay united and sia
    maybe atleast 2 years before consumer confidence can start to be restored and tthats being optimistic

    RE: Savety

    we dont allow any visitors to cockpits now at emirates and we are upgrading the flightdeck security but i find thatif a terrorist wants badly enought to cause terror on an aircraft then the flight deck is the least of his worries when you can use the passengers to get what you want.
    We are trained to do what the hijackers say as most acts of hijacking end peacefully but obviously this was an exception

    RE: Airlines on the edge

    the news is not good as insurance companies will only payout one hundred million dollars for terrorist attacks now so govts are going to have to underwrite airlines and if it doesnt happen its byebye to airtravel and i think oyu will find delta and continental are close to going bust and northwest also

    RE: passenger plane( that is what they say) hits world trade center.

    We at emirates have boosted security 5 fold and i think with the detaining of these new suspects it might not be to long before this may happen again.God help us all if it does
