by driving cars at dangerous speeds in Europe

Eroupe, Asia and North America this year 😉 They chartered an An-124 to carry the cars.

I do agree MH was brave trying to give it a go, but personally I think he spent too much time and effort on it when he should have realised earlier on that it wasn’t going to happen.

But all the best to him if he has found somewhere else he thinks he can make his living.

As for those airport security people who believe they’re some kind of superior being… Well… Don’t even go there…

I won’t take offense to that but……we do have to make sure the IATA and DfT regulations are being adhered to right down to the finest point as we are always being watched and tested.

Yes, we shouldn’t act all rightous and no, I’m not one of those who think I am better than the passengers. But, when trying to process 3,000 pax an hour people holding us up by not following simple rules tends to be a bit annoying 🙂 Further to that, we do need to act assertive so that pax will follow our instructions no matter our gender, shape, and size.

It’s just like any job really, when the customer isn’t doing what they should be unfortunately the employee sometimes takes it out on the next customer as a result.

The BBJ3 is based on the 757. Not sure if the 739 would be a good candidate for a BBJ conversion, it does not quite have the range that would be expected from a biz jet that size

The BBJ3 is based on the 737-900ER. Think it’s still in development due to the fact that the 900 hasn’t been around for long itself. Couldn’t find anything on the Boeing site to back this up……but I’m pretty sure it’s the case

wonderful shots! i like your selection of 75’s 🙂

I always touch both sides of the door entrance of the aircraft when boarding

i actually always touch the right hand side with my right hand also. i noticed myself doing it years ago and am scared to stop doing it because I’ve done it ever since!

i think the RJ’s are tricky to get a c/s right on……the Star Alliance one is coming round to me. As for this one, I think it looks too plain in all white but it would look superb in silver.

No, I wouldn’t have thought so either. But he may have mistook the plane for an A320 😉 I dunno, I just saw the tail logo and thought it looked pretty similar to what was drawn
