OMG! It just happened! No details! I don’t know anything! More to come!
Freddie Mercury (Don’t stop me now…)
I was at Heathrow last week man that’s one big airport anyway I was in the check in line you know the crowded area at T3 there were so many people there I could hardly breath lol anyway the guy in front of me had way too much baggage god that really pisses me off…
Pedant, First Class
Actually I think you’ll find that the luggage-bin hinges in the -400 variant had 54% nickel in their bracket bolts, not 50% as you said last month.
Clever Dick
I mean, this guy, he was SO ignorant. Jeez…he was telling his two-year old kid that they were going on a Jumbo Jet that went ‘zoom’, so I felt it was my duty to inform him that it was actually a Boeing 777-236. And can you believe it, he got really arsey when I politely mentioned six times that I was an aviation expert and started telling his wife that he shouldn’t really be giving his kids duff information.
The Philosopher
Hey I just thought of something. Where would [insert bankrupt airline here] be today if it had been using [insert paper aircraft here] between [insert congested hub] and [insert war zone]? What do you think?
The Snowman
Guys, seen the new cool livery for Bosh Air? It’s so cool! Bosh Air is such a cool airline and I think they should buy A380s because they’d look so cool in those colours!
The McCarthy
I’d never fly on a Russian plane like a Tupoleshinov, they’re built in Russia and they glue the wings on with sealing wax and the engines aren’t maintained properly, and they’re just deathtraps, god-damn they even crash when they’re on the production line, fuck that.

One-man Crash Investigation Committee
Well purely from shaky TV pictures of the burning wreckage and the complete absence of any official data it’s pretty obvious that they had a birdstrike and had to turn back and then the crew failed to set the flaps correctly because they were intoxicated. Anyway let’s not speculate.
Self-Polluter
Anyone seen this month’s Asian Sluts? Check out the photoshoot on page 47 – if I’m not mistaken that’s the new flat-bed in first class on Air Zonga’s A340-600s.

Talkative Passenger
I'm just along for the ride, I don't have a pilot's license, but I know a lot about flying... Hey, that was a smooth climb, are you going on vacation? Kewl. Tell me about your grandkids some more. Yeah, I'll have a Coke. How about you? Really, you were a teacher?... Wow, we landed. That was short [three hour] flight...

Good stuff.

Insensitive Orator
You know I hate when threads like these are started, but since it is already in progress, I am going to offer my 2 cents and probably offend a ton of people, whether I'm right or wrong, but that doesn't matter and I don't really care, because that's part of the beauty of this forum.
Which hopefully could not be stated of me and is what I seriously seek to avoid and those who indulge in that.

Great list, Backfire.

The Mydad
My dad works for Boebus and he says Airbing planes are plastic and use half as many rivets as Boebus and they don't care if their planes crash as long as they get their money. He's a lawyer too and he says this is a major case of genocide.

Actually I'm a one-legged lesbian vegetarian animal rights activist and I find your comments about us only eating broccoli totally ignorant. By saying this you're implying that we're loathsome people that don't have a right to walk the earth. I'm recommending your post for deletion.

I'm offended. You're making fun of me for being sensitive. And I don't even eat broccoli more than three times a week.

The Spoilt Rich Teenager
When I use my titanium milage allowance on my dicator-for-life frequent flyer card with XXX-Air, I expect to be treated like royalty. When it doesn't happen I ask them if they know who I am. I've told mum and dad I will not be flying with that airline again and in future i will only fly with Y-Air
And now I've been driving for six whole months and I already know my BMW M3 pisses on the Porsche 911 I test drove last month. Now I'm getting an X5 to go with it too. I'll drive that to school on Fridays. BMW's are sooooo Cool.

The self-deluder
Will AF/BA/LH serve my home town airport in Nowheresville Nebraska. I reckon a twice daily A340/777 should be able to fill enough traffic to make it work.
or
I heard from a friend of mine who works for a company whose colleague has a sister who overheard a stewardess on Icelandair say that Qantas/Air NZ/Any As-Pac airline are going to start serving Knock/Newquay/Blackpool/Poznan/Trondheim in time for the winter season.
It wil lbe a daily 747-400 service

This is for Texdravid
How about the Airnetter
The only cool thing is the A340, and the A380 is success.. the 777s are rustbuckets..
Or the one for Boeings
The shittiest thing is the A340, and the A380 is a failure.. the 777s are the Queen of the sky..
Hey! Are you saying that Air Wales isn't going to launch transatlantic services from Cardiff, Swansea and Withybush to Poznan, Trondheim and wherever else I want to go?

Withybush is the esteemed "Haverfordwest Airport" - ie. airfield. It's such a busy place that they held the Pembrokeshire County Show there last week, duck dog an' all!
Having said that, there was some sort of multi-passenger Beech-alike thing parked there.

Well I'd imagine they'd market Swansea airfield as Cardiff, so would that make Withybush "Cardiff outskirts"? Given that "Oslo Torp" (ie. Sandefjord) is two hours away by coach from the centre of Oslo, and that Haverfordwest is a similar distance (albeit by car, so slightly faster) from Cardiff.....
