Thanks for the info and it's nice to hear of companies putting a high emphasis on safety.GB sounds like one.I know as well that Monarch have a good reputation in that department but due to fleet size/proportion of 320/321 and the very nature of charter compared to schedule,they may not be able to use that restriction.Only several years ago their CRM team presented the dangers of unstabilised approaches and the dangers of tailstrikes on landing( usually the second bounce!)They also said that statistically,they were due for one......how right they were!
Is the A330 classified as a higher than norm risk in this area.I only ask as this is the 'smallest' aircraft that Emirates Cadets get to 'cut their teeth' on.............
