Bangs & Jolts
On the subject of Ryanair, how does a carrier style landing into Stansted sound? My one and only flight ended with, lets say that I have never had such a horrendous drop and impact with the runway. Yes I said impact, it was that bad. BTW, weather was good, light wind and no preceeding traffic. As we taxied in what remained of the aircraft, the first officer came on the PA and apologised for the hard landing, the runway was higher than he expected and was different to when he landed here last. You could here the smirk in his voice as he finished his PA.
Now, is this the kind of PA you want to hear?
Mind you, when we disembarked, the Captain was berating the FO with some very choice language and questioning his flying ability.
Just remember when knocking other pilots, they passed the same exams and training as you. As for airline knocking, are you sure your airline is better than the rest. I'm amazed how quickly this debate about PA's descended into an airline/personal knocking thread.

Back to the original topic.
Came back into Heathrow last night on an A320. Nice steady flight and descent, then a significant thump and roll overhead Southwark, and one or two others on the way down. As we exited 27R at Heathrow, sure enough there was a 747-400 taxiing in from the preceding landing.
What will it be like when the A380 arrives?

Many businesses over the years have thought that they were beyond the impact of the normal forces of consumer choice, public sector regulators and changing perspectives and then learned that they were not.
You will discover in due course what this means.
Until then enjoy your immortality.
Oh and by the way, BA are not an expensive airline these days.

Maxalt, if you like I can let you have the telephone numbers of a few very good psychiatrists who can help you with your attitude problem - you can get treatment, you know, and I'm sure you will feel much better when you get rid of your bitter and twisted view of those who keep you in employment.
You have also given away enough information about yourself and your attitude for Mike to identify you - I'd be watching my six if I were you...

Seeing where this ended up - I'm almost sorry I even asked. How on earth do pilots concentrate on the task at hand - when many of them certainly can't follow a thread.
Is it because you have to multi-task so much you can't stay on a single theme for more than a single mail, or did we get sidetracked by maxalt - the best Ryanair anti-salesperson I've ever had the pleasure of reading.
Whatever - dear Mr. moderator - this one can go to the archives - its not producing anything creative or instructive any more.
Cheers, and thanks to those with sensible replies, Gofer.
