“We have to do scheduled maintenance for the main runway (09-27) at least twice a week. If the secondary runway is not usable we cannot do that,” said the official.
Um....did I miss something?? WHAT maintenance? OK, maybe some of the taxiways and aprons get worked on (usually to repair the p*ss-poor work from the previous repairs), but what about FIXING that crappy corrugated excuse of a main runway...!!
It always makes me laugh after touch-down or during the acceleration before blasting off sky-ward at a few of the select passengers are being wiggled and jiggled about, all bouncy-bouncy. They must be grateful for their Wonder-Bra's with the condition THAT runway is in!
FIX YOUR RUNWAY, MUMBAI! (And the lack of radio discipline of the users who flog about your wobbly runway...!...and...and...and...)
Veddy good chaps...now back to your regularly scheduled program...
Cheers,
R.D.
PS: While you are cleaning up, how about ridding yourself from asking that archaic "Confirm 206 THROUGH SECURITY?" question! I can't count how many times I want to scream back "No, Mr. Patel, there are 154 through security. The other 52 scampered through your broken-down fence AND WE INVITED THEM TO JOIN US for a wee FLIGHT!!" Bloody git! OF COURSE THEY ARE (allegedly) SECURITY CHECKED!!! YEESH!! What an archaic, silly question!
