That pretty well says it all, not only about their practices but about how they deal with a problem. Sweep that lot under the carpet! Now that I am retired and have more time on my hands, if I do have to go to the “abroad” I will seriously consider going by sea.
Unbelievable, this is what's it's come to, prohibit manual flight because, well, we're not good at it.
