Now talk of airspace opening in stages tomorrow. Scottish at 6am then working south throughout the day!
I'm glad to see they are going to open it up in "stages." This will give the guys in SAR a chance to grab a bite to eat in the middle of their very busy day.
Someone should strap a 737 to their ass and go out to fly a full day of simulated air carrier operations around Europe for the day. At night the boys in maintenance get the plane. Do this for at least three days and then release the rest of the fleet. Bird number one would always get extra special handling each night for the next month or two because it would be the bird in the mine.
Problem with this theory is PW, RR & GE only have so many spare parts. If the entire fleet runs out of engine parts in a month or two everyone will really be up in arms except PW, RR & GE who will tack on an extra 100% to every "expedited" part.
