A woosh machine with a spinning thingy at the front

Finally, our very best wishes go to Senior Captain Hank Cheng, who on Sunday begins an epic three-month journey flying around the world in a homebuilt Cessna RV8 aircraft, named Inspiration.
I can handle the general public thinking everything smaller than an A330 is a Cessna. But a DFO?!? FFS AT, he assembled it from scratch, involved/inspired kids in the process and is about to fly it on one of the longest over water routes there is. With only the bladder of fuel and giant kahunas he's sitting on for company! At least get the aircraft type right.

MM

Considering all of her previous "gems", I'm totally gobsmacked at you being surprised.

I'm actually shocked that she didn't get more of it wrong.

I think it's time to hang up my equalettes for some well earned psychological rest. You guys can flog your guts out flying the A50 and 787-8F. I shall be following Hank's round-the-world cessna RV8 flight with interest.

Did they give him time off for this mission or is he taking annual leave?

Already edited to eliminate the embarrassing "Cessna" error.

She must be due a "promotion" soon. Surely there's a desolate corner of the swiredom that would benefit from her vast knowledge of aviation.... Perhaps Swire Shipping Papua New Guinea could benefit from having their RPs cancelled.

Just a thought....

I suppose if you give someone a Senior position and then take all their authority to act away, you get the nonsense that has been the last series of so-called DFO's. 2 out of the last 3 have been Oxford educated so they're not stupid, they just have their hands tied behind their backs. To make matters worse AT seems to be dreadful at researching her own comments properly. That's just lazy and ignorant and the latest example is quite pathetic.
With people like her and Ivan up there, it's no wonder the "Cathay Titanic" is filling up and sinking. Keep that 9th Floor Orchestra playing as the waters lap around your shoes…..we're going' down!!!

If she signs it at least she should proof read it first - otherwise she looks a bit stupid.

Yeah, that would be the communications manager.
