Great shots, CW.

The FR is my favorite.

Did you happen to catch the BA 767 (KORD) or BA 777 (ZSPD)?

Fire Service – 2300 – 0500

Servisair / Airport Authority 0500 – 2300

Is that quite a recent agreement then? As last time there was snow, I heard that was the issue.

I’m hoping LBA will open again tomorrow at some point so me and my camera can brave the cold and take a few photos!

I doubt it, since nobody is actually contracted to do it!

Last time, LBA was one of only two airports closed in Europe, and the other was a lot snowier than Leeds… something to be proud of, eh? 😀

Dont be put off of flying. It may not be as glamourous as it used to be but if you like flying and enjoy its challenge then go for it. If you’re looking for a quick route to become a Captain and earn lots of money do something else.

Flying isnt about becoming a Captain asap. It takes alot of hard work, dedication and money to train so why not just enjoy the challenge? Of course there will always be someone else earning more, and it may take a long time to become a Captain, but if you enjoy flying then the wait will be worth it and it will beat doing a job you hate.

Well said!

Couldn’t agree more.

When I was 17 I had my heart set on being a pilot. Lots of people gave me this same advice six years ago and I’m glad that I took it. I wasn’t going to do the ATPL with my degree, but I did want to do a degree in aeronautical engineering thinking that it would help me when I eventually decided to become a pilot…

Instead, I took the “safe” option and now have a very strong Business Information Systems degree. I still love aircraft and spend as much time spotting now as I did back then, but I’ve realised that I don’t want to make a career out of it. I’m as qualified to start an ATPL as anyone else, but things change.

I do still want to get my PPL, but couldn’t be more excited about starting an ICT Teacher Training course in September – a far cry from the flying career!

Add to that the fact that the airline industry is in tatters and there are plenty of experienced pilots out there without jobs… a backup subject is defiantely the way to go (if you want a degree)

Glad to here it!

best way is to become cabin crew

:D:D:D

The best thing to do if you’re unsure about flying is take a trial lesson, not become cabin crew.

If you go for a scholarship what do you think sounds better, 10h flying (showing you have an interest and have been willing to put in the time and spend your own money) or been a ‘waiter’ in the sky for a few years (no offense intended to cabin crew).

That’s just a cheap shot…know one accused anybody of lying…do you know the difference between embellishment and lying???

Yep!

Lying is a deliberate falsehood. Embellishing the truth is also a falsehood, but it is based apon the truth just dressed up to sound better than the factual version.

To me a falsehood is a lie, as it is an untrue statement – a difference of opinion I guess.

I do agree it’s not ‘the best complaint letter ever’, the title was just taken from the article.

Cloud9 – The SWA article! 😀

I wonder if Sir Richard replied?

‘We called the Virgin Atlantic press office and they confirmed they received the letter and that Richard Branson himself called the author to thank him for the feedback.’

what a bloody whinger…you get what you pay for…if you don’t want crap food or lousy service …pay the extra and move up into business

I’d beg to differ… The majority of people will never fly in business, so why should they have to have ‘crap’ food and service? The chances are he still payed a fair amount for his ticket (at least a few hundred pounds) and so should be entitled to a decent meal – they don’t cost much to prepare!

But then again, we have to take his word for it – he maybe young, so I guess he probably lying! :rolleyes:

EDIT: Here’s another airline complaint letter – I’m sure some of you have read it before. (Seat 29E)

He also advised avoiding the USA route and doing it somewhere like Spain then you can get a European license.
