As pointed out allready, the jobsworths will have to wind their necks in if this continues for several days,the Eric Moody scenario has nothing to do with what is happening over Europe now.Government research a/c need to be in the skies NOW, sampling the air to give the boffins some hard data to work on.(is 'Humphrey' the RAES Herc that does atmospheric research still flying? Probably been a victim of Gordo cuts,we can allways ask NASA or NOS)
The cash burn rate of grounded airlines is truely awesome,they cannot stay grounded and survive,not to mention other busineses such as tourism etc,jobsworths will simply not be allowed to stay in pious 'better safe than sorry' arse-covering mode.Europe's economy and millions of jobs are at stake.Come on Numptys,pull your collective fingers out NOW.
