Thumbs up Can you believe this?

These people are in line to receive an Oliver award. This award is an Oliver (Ostrich head in the sand).

10. AIR CARRIER MANAGERS: who wrapped seatbelts around the fan blades of a transport's #3 engine to stop unwanted windmilling prior to sending it off with a load of passengers on a flight from the Far East to Paris, with only three out of the four engines operating at takeoff.
Oliver's Astute Analysis: Luckily, the improperly calculated excessive fuel consumption required the plane to land at Frankfurt, where German regulators grounded the plane. If it had gotten to Paris…..?.
