Flight Revolt

Journalist Peter Lazenby in tonight's Yorkshire Evening Post reports (front page lead) that holidaymakers 'refused to fly' on MYT 392 from Minorca to LBA on Friday because of 'farcical' technical problems, including having the captain 'twice refuse to take off' and then culminating in him asking, 'standing on a chair', "who would be prepared to fly". This was a front page story on a big-selling paper and maybe it's time you guys and gals put in place a PR function that journalists (the good, bad and ugly) could check things out through before printing garbage. C'mon Danny, this is the next development in your brilliant website. And please, readers, don't misinterpret this post. I'm a grateful pax and hate some of the stuff I read about the profession I never quite attained.
