"Loss of radio communication with an aircraft is not an aviation safety issue"
If ever we needed a reason to oppose the privatisation of ATC, here he is. He should resign immediately, because he does not enjoy the confidence of the professional aviation community. We don’t need Al Qaeda to put our aircraft in jeopardy. We have the DTI putting guns on our aeroplanes without our knowledge, and some kind of painted loon who thinks pilots shouldn’t have to talk to anyone whilst they’re locked in the cockpit.
Do you know, I always wondered why you have to wear a uniform to fly an airliner. Simple really, have you ever seen the monstrous foul ups that suits make when they get near aeroplanes?
God save us all.
I’ll take on the opposition anyday. It’s my management I can’t beat!
