so I agreed to go back for another week.

Not in a million years would I ever consider working for such a sham of a company.

Sorry, this may just be me being stupid here, but did you say you ARE going back to work for Aviance, but you don’t like how BA run things in the baggage area?

I haven’t flown with BA that much in the past. The first time I did, for a long time before that, was this New Years and so I wasn’t exactly surprised my bag hadn’t reached the destination – especially since I was connecting through Heathrow.

Congratulations, what a superb moment for you. Few things beat that mix of relief and excitement when you get something you have been working for. I look forward to many of those moments when I officially enter the aviation career!

It’s a beautiful plane and will look even better when painted. I think everyone needs to remember it’s not built to look good and impressive – part of the appeal of the A380 – it’s built to fly well and cleaner. I think unfortunately this will be lost on the majority of the general public who will also consider it to be “just another plane.”

Im genuinly unaware of their practices under these circumstances, but it seems to be Airbus have been saving up a lot of orders just to announce them here? Is this (generally) the case?

I enjoyed reading it when I was home and also had a subscription. Admittedly, some of the news articles were ‘old news’ to me as I had read them on these forums. However, to be fair, I am so keen in aviation that every article in the magazine interested me to some extent and every article had some snippit of information I could take away. Alas though, I have not found any English copies while I am here in Germany but will take up another subscription when I’m home in Sept. Oh! And I guess that means I have not seen the new look…..which is what the thread was about :p
