TriStar Crew Reply

Here we have the Captain, Eng and ALM from the tristar.

Now then...........muppet

Yes I did dispatch with a minor fuel problem, well within the DDM. However when my engineers had finished the re-fuel a pipe blew dumping about 3 tonnes of fuel on the pan and inside the aircraft, a major major problem. We have had to wait for spares from the uk, and also my engineering team have had to mop up the excess fuel within the aircraft. As for my passengers they got pushed onto the C-17 whose loadie went sick and thus got further delayed. My apologies to those involved.

As we are flying in old aircraft they do tend to break a little more than usual, this has nothing to do with the crew and thus should not be to blame. Don't shoot the messenger and all that.

As for BorntoFlyfasts' comments, as you are only 24 you've obviously only just qualified out of nappies and should be careful what you post. You are ill informed, and please take up my Sqn executive's offer if you are brave enough.

From the knockers on my crew, please don't knock us as we are highly sensitive and may cry.
