Brissie to Cooly in a Concorde, down the beach at 50ft, now that would be fun. Thanks Motley.
I know it's Bull.... , but i need some hard stuff to shove up their nose's. The only foreign carriers i know of are BA, SQ and CX, all now ceased their bases.

Possibly because you would still be briefing the ‘invention of aviation’ and any inherent threats along with multiple mitigation techniques!

All we needed at EK were those Austronaught Blue shirts, then we would have been already to be inducted into the space programme.

Talk with TK first officers, 99.9% of them have “a friend in EK whose friend is Miami based”

Hi Papa, Are your friends of friends, pax fleet or freighters ?
Monarch M, Calm down or i'll get Dumpy on to you. ps i was there, did the first Mon etops LGW- BGR as a F/O, you Poms taught me everything about the Pond.
Ironbutt, I think i read about you on a CRM Course back in the 80s, one of those who would ruin a 7day trip.

Fatbus, A Fatpension
Ironbutt Back in the 70s when i became an expat flying with the old WW2 guys, you listened and learnt and i did that through my career. You seem to have a huge problem with fellow pilots. Do you actually enjoy flying ?
