Only a rough guess but I reckon Banzai Chap in a previous PPRuNe life was Anjin San.

Hey rentaghost,

I still get cold shivers down my spine when I think of Mario's. Still got Bintang poisoning!!!
Since there was only 3 of us in CGK it narrows it down a bit. Did you suggest or buy the BJ's? McSatay & Chips anybody.

Glad to hear you're still kicking and screaming - keep my I.D up your sleeve!

Thumbs up Fiction OAP

Fiction, you must be getting on a bit now to have accrued
all that experience & 'aufority!!'

Well here goes for my measily 10 years -

Brymon PLH/NQY/BRS
EK OMDB

Short & Sweet but have enjoyed all my time so far on my rollercoaster ride with aviation....even the joys of staff travel

You could not beat a Summer Saturday in Brymon Ops PLH
for Sporting action of the Operational Disruption Variety !!

Far from Boring Ballymoss!

Did you know that "Whispering Giant" was the nickname for the Bristol Britannia !!!

Yes the three of us are OK here in DXB. Fortunately the operation does not have a lot of the "in your face" problems you would normally have ie very few wx probs locally around the Middle East, no slot or ATC delays to deal with, strikes, except DAC, few tech probs, average age of the fleet being only 3 years old.

So I am looking at the Emirates network this morning and not one single delay is posted from any of the 60 destinations around the world we are operating to today with 43 aircraft.

There are other problems we encounter though of a different nature !!!
