RE: KLM and BUZZ.

Well, there is no good reason why KLM would want to own a UK-based low cost airline to be honest. It just ties up time and resources.

The KLM guys think that those resources and that time, would be more profitably used if it were devoted to the mainstream KLM operation.

You’re right folks, they just did the same as BA did with Go…learn lots of things about how to operate more cheaply, and make a fair bit of money in the process. Now it’s time to apply all that to the real KLM. Tricks like, being rude and refusing to check bags in for connecting flights…..

Preston, a stun gun is what United and Mesa are proposing.

RE: Please explain!!!…..Is it me?

Inconsistency is the part which annoys me personally.

If our hypothetical “immigrant” was from a Western country – shall we say, an American or an Australian – the authorities go hell for leather to make life difficult for them. To generalise (sorry for that) a lot of these people are productive and responsible individuals who in many cases are of a a higher calibre then “home grown” talent. My own employer has a habit of recruiting the brightest and best, irrespective of where they’re from.

So…if you’re educated, civilised and would help out the UK…GO AWAY. If on the other hand, you can’t speak English and have no degree…WELCOME.

Reverse the situation and Brits are in the same boat when they try to emigrate to America or Australia.

Would it be practical to replace three JT8D’ with two Tay’s?

RE: Easyjet A320?

My Travel seems a good explanation. It’s not impossible that it was an Easyjet (I mean, us lot are not exactly privy to all their fleet planning decisions!) but probably more likely to be a My Travel aircraft.

Not too sure really, but Wysiwyg’s approach is sound.

My one concern is over the reliability and probity of ground staff. A lot of attention has been paid to enhancing in-flight security but we all know how unsuitable ground-based security methodolgies are.

It’s funny, almost exactly the same criticisms can be levied at the CAA here in the UK.

RE: Flight report BA8077 LGW-NCL

Well the alternative to leather is a fabric covered seat.

These seats can tend to deform, so that the fabric works a bit loose and rucks up all over the place – equally uncomfortable.

I think the BA leather is passable – I mean, they have circulation holes in the seat bottoms and the material is not too bad. Far better than the Lufthansa grey plastic seats anyway!!

As long as you are cool they’re fine.

I have a sim called “Airline” which has a lot of this info, though I don’t know where the developers found it all!

I agree that the “all day deli” menu is a bit of a joke. I’d personally prefer no food, just a proper tea or coffee served in decent mugs!

On my last few trips wys, I’ve noticed that BA’s 737’s have more legroom than their 747’s (32 inches compared to 30 or 31).
