Don't worry fellas, rumour is we will be driving ourselves in the near future. The parking lot out back behind the EGHQ under the metro will soon be expanded and allow for pilot parking. Enjoy the Volvo while you can.....

Has anybody heard of a bad accident involving crew transport recently? Heard a rumour yesterday.
I heard a rumour a couple of days ago of a serious accident very recently involving two of our colleagues in a Volvo en route to EGHQ. One was killed and one seriously injured.

If it's true then one would expect to at least hear something but I am sure the company would do all that it can to hide such an event from us and especially the general public. I sincerely hope it's only a rumour with no substance to it.

Based on recent history, I would have expected a letter from JA or above informing of the event.

Nothing received so far, hopefully it's just a rumour

No rumour Helen, I've seen the photos, Volvo was totalled, both ends of the car impacted, with the back end completely compressed! It looked very nasty!

Were those pictures not from the accident that happened a couple of months or so ago?

Possibly, I saw them about a week ago, so if it's happened since then I guess your right!

Well there is a National driving a truck. Saw it a couple of years parked on Jumeirah beach... Loots of bling bling, but for sure not a utility truck😄😄😄😄
Rather than driving a Rolls , he drives a Kennworth or was it a MAC...
So yes, there are local truck drivers...😄😄

Yeah saw that truck on beach too...
On the crash site there were not any traces of braking... Surely the truck driver was sleeping...on another scale they are as squeezed as they can be... But they are not " drivers with hat"
