You can say that again. In fact, you
should say that again. And in case you don't, I will:
However, we now seem to have a large group of junior 'pilots' on this forum who seem to be woefully uninformed about the subject of volcanic ash, and together with aviation authorities in Europe, who have not had to cope with this much before (except perhaps the Italians)...all seem to be scared of their own collective shadows, and will look for any excuse to not fly.
It would therefore appear that the entire commercial aviation business throughout Europe/UK is going to the dogs (so to speak)...and I for one, couldn't care less.
Let them stew in their own juice.
