A guy sitting at a bar at Heathrow Terminal 3 noticed a really beautiful woman sitting next to him.

He thought to himself: “Wow, she’s so gorgeous she must be a flight attendant. But which airline does she work for?”

Hoping to pick her up, he leaned towards her and uttered the Delta slogan:”Love to fly and it shows?” She gave him a blank, confused stare and he immediately thought to himself: “Damn, she doesn’t work for Delta.”

A moment later, another slogan popped into his head. He leaned towards her again, “Something special in the air?” She gave him the same confused look. He mentally kicked himself, and scratched Singapore Airlines off the list.

Next he tried the Thai Airways slogan: “Smooth as Silk.” This time the woman turned on him “What the ******* do you want?”

The man smiled, then slumped back in his chair, and said “Ahhhhh, RyanAir!”

Well the Concorde model is going to be replaced by an Emirates A380 model….

least it is keeping with tradition!

One European airline project which ended in financial disaster will be replaced by another European airline project which is heading (at the moment) for financial disaster!!!

Before any of you start, The concorde project didnt make a profit or even break even, thanks to the 1970’s oil crisis and a mass of cancelled orders

The A380 with all the delays and financial penalties, Airbus at the moment needs to sell alot more than originally intended A380’s to break even.

This post was not a dig at the beauty and elegance of concorde nor an excuse to start an Airbus Vs Boeing thingymajig!!!

Yes indeed, post ‘9/11’ culture has most certainly brought out the tw*t in many an over zealous airport security operative. Common sense appears to have been added to the banned list. I take the train for most of ‘internal flights’ these days…

I went with a friend to the local job center, and one of the “star” jobs being advertised was for Security personel at Manchester Airport.

38.5 hours per week on a changing rota patern
4 weeks annual holiday allowance + public holidays
Discounts at many various shops located within Airport.
Pay £5.71 per hour.
Uniform and full training provided

Now i’m not sure if Manchester airport contracts out its security services or does it in house. But for £5.71 per hour, thats not really alot of money considering the pressure that is put upon these hardworking people.

i may be wrong, and would like to stand corrected, but i read somewhere that BA has options on 99 A320 family to be firmed up at when ever they need them??

Only one thing concerns me……

Taken from the above link!

With a maximum takeoff weight of 41,600kg (91,800lb), the CRJ1000 aircraft will offer a maximum range of 3,140km (1,690nm) with 100 passengers, “under certain operating conditions”, says Bombardier

Be interesting to find out what certain operating conditions they are talking about

The French BEA (air accident investigation) office and Air France headquarters share the same office building, and staff switch sides/change jobs within both organisations…… i will let you draw your own conclusions
