RE: Teesside News Update

Just a note for the spotters – it could well be a Cityhopper F70 a/c as Leeds is getting extra F70 flights to suppliment the 3x daily F100 runs – i think the UK F100’s are at near full utilisation now the F50s are been retired.

RE: Farnborough pics

the A340-500 was rolled out several months back in it’s primer colour scheme and was then worked on internally by the Airbus engineers installing flight data equiptment etc – i think it has been flying since springtime – neone confirm this??

The connection B737-42C is a demonstrator for a US technology company providing in-flight entertainment and alike thru high-speed datalinks for Internet/WAP/SMS technology for airlines such as Virgin wh oare at the upmost end of the market.

RE: I Give Up !!!

I’ve been on flights where “apparently” ppl have been smoking – even on a 2hr leg of the flight – what do u do if a fire breakes out in mid-air?? – pull over to the side of airway bravo 1, ask every1 to get out whilst the firemen help u?? – especially on a 180min ETOPS situation?? – i know accidents do happen, but for the sake of something like this which is avoidable is it not common sense to try and Curb the problem?? – i know it wasnt caused by a smoker but look at the devistation a fire such as the Channel Tunnel fire when a train caught alight an was unaccessable for 15 MINS!!! – Hows about desending from 37,000ft??? hmmm – surely common sense prevails!

RE: guess the airline!

Yea that models are right – haven’t got time to research the airlines tho

RE: Charters pulling out….

No worries

RE: Im pleased with myself

1. – THEY HAVE TO BE BASED!!!! – otherwise insurance is a huge problem
2. – Preferably have their own handling services – e.g. bmi use their own at nm as opposed to servisair.
3. – Dont go looking for glamour – no airline is gonna put u on a flight a day – u’ve to hack the paperwork and oddjobs too – i didn’t mind this side – i did loadsheets, flight hours and allsorts. I was also lucky as in the company owner was my boss – therefore if he wanted to go flying he’d drag me along and the fact LBA closed and we got 3 diversions also helped!
4. U need good referances – school and a job will b best but also any organisations u’re in are gud – scouts etc
5. – Allow plenty of time – it took me over 6 months to get it all thru health and safety risk assesment etc (thats school covering their backs!)
