... but Airbus have been granted some "dispensations" on the 90 sec / 50% of exits requirement "to ensure the safety of the volunteers".

I stand by for the howls of protest from the Europhiles that anyone might dare to suggest that these dispensations might be somewhat slanted towards ensuring the KonkHorde passes the test with "flying" colours.


Back to the subject of the thread: - whilst casting no aspersions at the aeroplane, that had to be the godawful launch I have ever (in part) witnessed. "In part" because I wandered off in utter boredom.

Now, a quick question: how much more interesting would such a presentation have been if it had been done by the cousins across the pond?
