Soory Claw, but I have to agree with Burns on his points. the crews at MK are definately good "chaps" but they do over extend them selves sometimes! Yes they do the job, because they have to, no one will back them up.....when they say no!!!
Lots of African fields are not up to "European" or "Western" standards and that in its self is sometimes disconcerning, (try Mwanza, 3700 ASL, 10,800 Ft. Runway, with 40 tons of fish, ISA + 10, 7 Kts tail wind, pitched black, flocks of resting birds 50 feet from the runway, and the radar painting CB's all over, and no weather on route or at your destination!!!) but a contract is a contract, as they say!! The record speaks for itself in terms of "dammaged or destroyed" aircraft.
Hah, but what do we (or you Claw) know of statistics?????????
The Europeans have it all wrong I guess!!
