That’s nice Sandy. Looks nicer on the ’57 than it does on the bus.

At the end of the day if it’s over weight they could just tie some butterflies to it. I’m sure they would produce the extra lift/thurst to take her into the ocean that is air.

Or it may be a European ploy to reduce obesity – you’re to fat so you can’t fly unless you lose weight! In fact I might become anorexic just to gain a favourable rate.

Strange that the A/C suffered two engine problems – a freak situation, but not dangerous.

It’s on – but it now needs a lick of paint 😀

rdc1000,

point taken – it is important to get the people out quickly. I was concentrating too much on the large catastrpohic cases, which leave little chance for survival.

Doesn’t look too good, but looking at the big picture, most accidents will be made up of the aircraft hitting the ground at some force bringing death. The only real reason to vacate an aircraft quickly (on the ground) will normaly not be too serious, so the folk will have a chance to escape unhurt.

On a side note, does a variant have to be re-tested? i.e. the 777 – 300, did that have to go through a separate test from the 777 – 200?

Sandy that’s bad news mate. I wish the Customer Service folk who don’t take pride and help customers would take some pride and sort out a simple task like moving a flight. At least the service desk were good about it.

P.S. Where abouts did you stay? One of the girls from work is going over in April and looking for some recommendations.
