- When the background noise coming from the television in the Tower is so loud that your landing clearance is totally unreadable.
- When any request for a shortcut is greeted with "co-ordeenation een progress".
- When one minute before off-blocks the dispatcher finally appears and says "Capteen capteen, seestem is down you make manwal load-sheet".
- When delayed by making said load-sheet the dispatcher pleads "On time Capteen on time?"
- When three times the quantity of luggage is carried into the cabin as goes into the cargo hold.
- When the Cabin Attendants draw their galley curtains 2 minutes after take-off and they are not seen again till 2 minutes before landing.
- When the noise of seatbelts being unfastened and phones being switched on as soon as the wheels hit the ground can be heard by planes waiting at the holding point.
- When an airline which went bust in '04, '05, '06 and '07 happily reappears alongside you on the apron in '08.
Still a great place and great people....love it!
