Ryanair emergency landing Valencia 14th May

[rubik101]

I for one dont have time to be scouring all the ryanair threads and others got better things to do.


But you do have time to ask questions that have already been repeatedly asked and just as repeatedly and very thouroughly answered. If you really are the least bit genuinely interested in the subject then surely reading the detailed responses to your queries would be a sensible first step? Why get those who previoulsy contributed to the discussion to rewrite it all over again? Or maybe you think they have nothing better to do other than respond to your motiveless questions?

btw, who do I work for?

Where did it say that he has a "motive" for opening the discussion again? That's what we do here, discuss. I'd welcome further discussion as myself and others might learn something that we would've never seen. If the thread bores you, don't read it?

BF, if this forum software had the "respected user" capability, I would certainly use it to add you to my RU list.


Rubik -

When you wrote

Jimmy, try doing a search of the forums before you launch into print. Whatever your motives are for trying to renew the discussion, believe me, every aspect of the point you are trying to make has been gone over a thousand times in previous posts. They landed with reserves close to or at the minimum. Any problem with that?

you obviously HAD done the search, right?

So why not just list the links to the threads, instead of planking the guy?


BTW - here is Ryanair tankering

[rubik101]

I don't know how you did that rottenray but when I search 'ryanair tankering' I get nine 9 threads and twelve 12 posts with those words. So the answer was, yes, I did do the search and I read the posts and threads and I learned a lot.

IFALPA fuel questionaire

I think this questionaire answers the question of my motive and asks a number of the right questions. ( In reference to Ryanair tankering threads, As we know fuel tankering is different from taking extra contingency fuel. Nothing to do with tankering for economical reasons.Different issue. ) . For example , contigency fuel.ATC in Spain are not giving shortcuts and there are labour issues there.
There is a question of comfort level, and if the Captain wants to assume the extra stress of taking flight plan fuel only or not. That buffer of two or three hundred extra hundred kilos of fuel has saved me more than once from diverting or commiting to my destination.
As the price of fuel goes up again so will the pressure to not take extra fuel.

Here is the IFALPA fuel questionaire and the link

Fuel Questionnaire

¨"Question1 Is fuel saving a structured process in your airline?

Question 5 Are you required to fill out mandatory reports of extra fuel carried? Question 6 Do you as a pilot think you should have more or less authority over the amount of fuel loaded?
Question 7 Could you relate one or more fuel related incidents that you have knowledge of?"
