TAC on - Exactly mate.

I wonder how the parents of the little darlings would have reacted to their kids injured feet having had to get out in a hurry.

I`m only a lowly PPL student but it seems amazing, given how every missed approach / burst tyre makes the news, that the public only want safety to be considered when it doesn`t inconvenience them. I get the feeling that part of the problem is that any safety briefings / requirements force people to think about "the unlikely event" and they don`t want to pull their head out of the sand..

Ah well. Poor ANZ - damned if you do, damned if you don`t.

Cheers
