I too have my doubts about that list. Never heard any mention of it other that her on pprune. I understand BA and Virgin are now operating to the US as of last night.
This thing has been (is, rather) a nightmare of unbeleivable and tragic proportions. Who can blame the US if they're not getting thing completely right so soon afterwards?Guvner-I havn't so far been tempted to either critise you or support you on this site, but to make those comments in the wake of this, well all I can say is-please just go away! I have just come to the conclusion that just about everything deogatary said about is bang on. Do you do it to just get a rise out of others? Have a little respect, can't you!
Another thought on that list, assuming it was genuine. Perhaps BA, KLM, Air France etc were considered more at risk is because they're prime western carriers-a more attractive target to the terrorist-that an aircraft belonging to a third world country with which they pressumably have no quarrel with anyway. Just a thought.
