conspiracist,
would i travel with my family down to Plymouth with this person in commmand. Would i F$ŁK
I guess the people of PLY and NQY, probably wouldnt really want your company anyway, so no loss there!
Now for some facts, (as seen from the home of the pasty)
As an ex Brymon guy, based in PLY, i can asure you that any pilot who is flying for WOW as a skipper is almost certainly an EXTREMELY competant aviator. Landing in PLY is not for the fainthearted and a pilot not up to scratch would be very quickly weeded out. Many of the management guys from BRY/BACX are still working at WOW, and I very much doubt that standards have slipped!
As for their equipment average fleet age is less than 15years (standing by for correction ), whilst i was there they were maintained at PLY and BRS to a very high standard, by some extremely competant guys.
Sh*t happens, and very ocassionally bits do come off a/c, but no one was injured, and the plane was flying the next day, hardly news worthy, and certainly not deserving of obuse of there ops/pilots/equipment/maintenance.
PB
edited for correction, due to my laziness in not checking fleet age
