...can't really tell the difference between 3,000fpm or 6,000fpm. Heck, without looking at the gauges, even I can barely tell the difference

Bet you could at 2000ft

Try that in Airbus.

Air Transat? Longer runway, admittedly.

Uuuuhm....... I think we are in agreement that Boeing rules and apparently Tupolev is second, but I'll wait for the ISGPOTM to chime in.

Are you mixing Gimli (Air Canada B767) with Azores(Air Transat A330)?

England was settled by Saxons . We want it back! Pipe No it wasn't, it was settled by the Celts(aka the Britons), who also settled Brittany and Galicia. The Anglians and Saxons piled in with the Romans but decided to stay longer. The Frisians, Jutes and Norse also traded, settled and conquered ther...

The difference being I confine it to one thread, I dont start 10 different threads 'everytime a QF hostie farts' on two boards. No Marty - The absolute fundamental difference being that you were given power and (ab)used it from a personal perspective and not in moderation. To be honest outside of t...

Unless its aviation related I either moved all his threads here thus filling this board up with it or deleted it all together, I choose to delete it.

And thus made a complete pig's ear out of the very first moderating issue you ran into.

I think all agree

is Ryan Air the only international airline that flies to LERL?

Rather than adding stoppage, wouldn't it be better to simply STOP the clock? That is exactly what they do. The official clock being the one on the referees arm. Unlike US sports there is a general approximation between elapsed time and game time, so a rough indication of how long is left after 45 m...

The new 'sky interiors' are far superior to the existing interior.

Personally I'm more comfortable in planes where the sky is an exterior feature.

Maybe you should post it on JP. There should be a few likely customers.

Didn't think they were much for vaginas over there, no matter how much jewelry they're wearing.

Next question?

Does the NPT allow nuclear weapon state signatories to threaten first strike use on non nuclear countries in order to force compliance to the NPT?

It should do! That'd be a few less warheads out there.

Giles and I bicker sometimes. I figure it helps the post count. But, if it deters young men from wanting to discuss more than aircraft liveries but less than shaving and sexuality (and do so in a place of safety), I will refrain from said bickering. Speaking of which, how do they get those big, lon...

Why, thank you everyone! Per - I put away the skis years ago, but they gave great warmth in the fireplace. Cindy, thank you, and hugs right back at you!

Mr TheShade, good to see you bringing Tomfoolery to our attention again.

Surely they are parked off the end of 06!

Looks like the original was short and hard.

Wow, Ike, get over yourself for half a day. Maybe taking your Mercedes for a spin would cheer you up and improve your attitude toward the world.

Not unless he's replaced the exhaust

Why are so many of the guys flying regional jets old and bitter at the world? As many as "young" stewardesses flying for American Airlines. If you don't get it, let's just say that lawyers are the only winners in divorce cases. :roll: What 0? :D Now Singapore on the other hand.... :shock:...

So if can sum up everyone's opinions on the matter, it appears that the new Gold standard in aviation professionalism and safety is: "As long as nobody gets hurt, what's the big deal?"

Not everyone's opinion.

To me that looks bad, and the biggest problem I can see is not that the controller would try and abort because of a ghost return, but more that he would assume that a real return is just another ghost. You are always going to get "ghosts" in that respect the FAA guy is right, but that mean...
