When will Frogbus ever learn that their ****ty little pointless streams of malevolent ones and zeros are not appreciated? Gits.
Now I have flown "Fifi the Wonderjet" am familiar with her ways. I do tend to agree that some of the features that the designers incorporated seem to be there solely because they could be done, not because they are necessary or even desirable.

My principal reservation about the 'bus is the relative ease with which a lateral PIO can be induced on approach, particularly in turbulent conditions. A colleague once put it most succinctly:

"Landing a 767 in a crosswind is like chucking a sack of spuds on the runway but landing an Airbus in similar conditions is akin to w***king an ungrateful pig in a rowing boat"

Quite apt I felt
