Risk taking.
What double bogey said is correct
"What is definitley sure is that no-one will be put at risk if aircraft do not fly in the ash cloud".
So why don't we all give up flying forever.
Why stop there. When it's snowing in Aberdeen then there should not be a car on the road. That would be safer surely DB.
The fact remains that not the whole of the UK has been affected equally. Shetland are suffering a lot more than Southend. Can we not have flexibility in this country?
DB, as far as working for a good company that does not take unnecessary risks, did Mr Bristow not take huge risks in his pioneering days. Yes, of course he did and that is how he built the company that exists today.
