Have no fear - hard to miss the AAIU report on the FR 737-800 at Cork last June 4th. SOPs and CRM were out the door. Cork Airport is famous enough as it is without ever needing another alarming incident like that to occur again.

Aer Lingus have been having two quiet days recently. The MAD flight did not operate yesterday and the ALC flight did not operate today. Whatever about Madrid this reinforces my opinion that Alicante should be dropped for most of the winter in favour of Valencia which at least has a long weekend attraction more so that ALC. Sure hope EI put a bit more thought into where they might go from Cork from next winter. It would be great to see Munich again even if it was just winter only at about two a week?

Dont know for sure but am wondering are DHL being caught out with the ATP in Cork. Two German Metros arrived last night on freighter duty but am not sure if they were DHL related. It would be good to think that the ATP is too small and that an Electra or 757 revival might be considered?

Of course, I may be all wrong and the Metros had nothing at all to do with DHL!
