You, my boy, are a fine one to criticise anyone else for jumping down people’s throats or, indeed, for showing contempt for opinions that differ from one’s own.

Onto to the “Ignore” list with you, along with your soulmate GLA_Rules in his various incarnations.

Nice pictures.

Yes – we’ve a series of interesting “end of season” flights at Manchester, including a few NEOS B737s and the Iberworld A330 that I posted today. Always interesting at this time of the year.

BTW – what’s that Embraer in the background of the shot of G-EZKA?

It was fine till you took the literal meaning for a mis written line.

Hmmm….I would venture to suggest that your evangelical zeal to preach the superiority of all things Boeing overcame your critical faculties.

Maybe you should make yourself clearer in future, then this sort of thing wouldn’t happen, eh?

you know full well what I meant.

It seems to me that you know i’m right, can’t handle it so you twist things to suite yourself

I know full well what you said – and it was tripe.

The rest of your last posting isn’t worthy of my consideration, and well below your normal standard. Having a bad day or something?

You said ANY Airbus product, Sandy, not me.

Your words, not mine. You made a sweeping claim (as you are oft wont to do) and I’ve shown you how ridiculous it is.

Oh, and why not look up “manners” and “courtesy” while you’re in there?

You seem to be lacking in both today.

If we look at simple performance terms… no Airbus product comes close to the 757. Fact. That is whats talked about, nothing more

Hmmmm…… so that’ll be a greater max range than an A340-500 will it? Or maybe a higher MTOW than an A340-600?

I suggest that you look up the word “fact” in a reputable dictionary, old chap. You may be astonished at what you find! 😉

Maybe they plan to use Finnair MD11s to supplement/bale out the DC10 in much the same way as they’ve used Finnair 757s this summer to support the A300s?

Wait a minute…..

There was a “pet chimpanzee” on board, and people smelled a funny odour in the cabin.

One wonders whether or not the two may be in some may connected…….
