Another example of why I will pay that extra 15 quid to fly BA/BMI/Virgin

BA B777 take off from 700m shorter runway than calculated

Bmed (now BMI) no visual at MDH continues approach, then Go around with EGPWS but don't apply full stick back.
Airline Industry and Aviation Safety News from Flightglobal
Virgin A340 take off with an error in take off performance of just under 100ts
Pure luck saved the day in this selection of BA,Virgin and BMI(bmed) serious incidents and not your 15£ investment.
