Don't give up! keep driving the point home- these aren't keyboard slips, they are plain ignorance. We all had schooling- if people want to communicate with the wider world, why should we accept sloppy crap like that? It makes me wince. And the response you get? Abuse! So what? I'd rather try and get my grammar right than be a lazy ignorant slob not knowing the difference between there, they're and their, 'would have' and 'would of', and all the other sensible grammar matters they could be bothered to listen in to in class!
Why should the written world become a morass of stupid mistakes by the great uneducated (uneducated because they couldn't be bothered to listen)? It's the English today who display 'poor English skills'. They must be shamed into at least trying, not protected from all criticism!
I have given up on the word "their"
With the poor English skills today, it seems to have been dropped.

Todays Flight PIA (LBA-ISB) Whats going on?
My mates on that flight, dropped him off, he checked in and I saw him off. Flight was meant to leave at 9.30 but its being delayed to 11.30 at the earliest. They've given out £8 food vouchers, and told them the flight has been delayed due to 'Technical Issues' with the Aircraft A310-300. Can anybody shine a light on the technical issues?

This is getting stranger. I was listening to the PIA on the radio and it said something about Dubai and I was like WTF. I rang up my mate and he says there having a two hour stop in Dubai. Anyone know why?

I reckon it stopped in DXB because it could depart lighter with less noise given the fact that the aircraft departed at 00:15, long after the nighttime curfew of 23:00 for the A310-300 type aircraft

Well 2 hours in Dubai is quite long for a quick fuel refil I would have thought. Anyway just checked ISB website. Flight was schedule to come in 8.35 but it is expected at 15.00 Pakistani Time. The time there is now almost four and it's still not arrived

Curfew
LBA shouldnt have a "curfew"....all the local properties have at least been given triple glazing and soundproofing...so why does Leeds have a curfew...besides ..the airportd been there long enought so people who choose to live near the airport, should know what to expect!!!!!
I thought Leeds had a 24 hour licence for landing and departures!!!!

Hi TopazBlue
I sympathise with your situation and worries ! I fly the Airbus A300 which is a very similar aircraft to the A310 with just about identical fuel systems. I doubt the leak was overboard and suspect it was internal between the fuel tanks which would mean one of the tanks would be unusable making the range of the flight around 1 to 2 hours flying shorter if the tank had to be empty! This would be caused by an internal non return valve not working properly.
