It's famous!
Have Sky News (UK) on FOXTEL and Pprune got a mention. It's on in the background but I double-taked when I saw footage of them scrolling through posts on a computer screen.
The news 'story' was about the refusal by some airlines to use Bristol's ['poorly?] resurfaced runway during the inclement weather, (or should the article really have just been 'flights cancelled due to bad weather') and how pilots on 'a well-known aviation website' were posting things like 'let's just get it sorted' when commenting on the condition of the runway.
Seemed a bit sensational to me. Is Pprune often on the news when a fairly insignificant occurrence crops up in the aviation world? Or do they mention it to back up what appears to be a very weak news story in a vain attempt to give their 'story' some hint of credibility?
