I have just stumbled across this post by accident and I REALLY hope this is a wind-up....

Bingaling - You really think 30 mins Final Reserve is what your wife and kids in the back would be comfortable with?

"Chances of LHR not being available very slim". Have you any idea about SE England runway capacities??

Christ, even VFR PPL's carry 45 mins Final Reserve as an ABSOLUTE minimum and we have juicy green fields to put down into if we need to.

I really hope you aren't working for an airline I have to travel on...
