I don’t know, Flybe have several Ryanair-ish habits.

I thought they were being replaced by A319/A320.

Of course, they could always take the proper option of spending more on profiling and preventive security!

It’s one of those awkward issues, where it is too easy to portray yourself as anti-American by resorting to the “trigger happy cowboy” stereotype. I hope I don’t give that impression.

I know BA have gone on record as being very against the idea of arming pilots, whereas the US airlines seem really enthusiastic about it.

What does disturb me is that US airlines allow pilots to be armed when operating in UK airspace – they can surely do what they like in their own country, but it bothers me that they are allowed to be armed over here.

Don’t mention the score!

Does LPL have enough apron or runway capacity for much more expansion? It seems to suffer the Leeds-Bradford problem.

It looks pretty maxed out on the apron at times, and I think the runway is suitable for narrow bodies only.

You are risking a debate on the overall quality of corporate governance in the US.

Their system is certainly different to that in say, the UK, and many commentators have suggested this may have a role to play in the disasters that have struck so many US companies.

They must be nearing retirement age though?

I know ANZ are looking to replace their 762s.
