Fecking hell. Some of you pilot chappies can be an odd bunch.
As SLF I felt Fintan's question was fair enough. If you don't like it, what's the point of logging on and slagging him/her off? I'm a regular on Pprune (largely on JB because I'm not a pilot) and one of the more depressing aspects of R&N is the constant slagging of us mere mortals, and -- worse IMHO -- your colleagues.
apparently about 1-2 meters off the ground a gust of wind blew the a/c off over the edge of the runway
News? No.
Rumour? Possibly not. Fintan had a friend on board.
Worth checking? Why not?
If you don't like the question, don't answer.
FYI - I've been on a few go-arounds -- including a touch-and-go at Changi during a particularly fun bit of weather. Went to the alternate in the end and I ended up getting a ferry back from Batam, much quicker.
Calm down chaps.
Edited to note that the people who slag Fintan off don't appear to have any current types on their profiles. Are they actually pilots? Just a thought....
