Never mind departures even with 04 up the lough and a tailwind. What about that nice short landing - hope the thrust reversers and brakes are good on the A321, and that the runway is always bare and dry. I seem to recall that JEA had a little mishap with a 146 there a while back on a wet runway. Hope the bmi boys don't land long - at least there's not a petrol station at the end of the runway as Southwest discovered at Burbank. The safety margin of error is surely reduced when you are used to having 2800 metres to play with and a CAT3b ILS as opposed to 1760m and an uncategorised/almost CAT 1 at BHD.
