They can start with abolishing stupid sh!t like charging J pax £100+ each way for seat selection :irked: This is actually good, as it stops the once a year travellers taking up the good seats.

Jump to postCruz leaving would be a major step in the right direction. Enough with the Ryanair stuff, we want our full service flag carrier back. Well I'm not sure the extent of what you're referring to, but if it has anything do with things like being charged £70 to select a seat, then too bloody right. When ...

Jump to postBut I don't think the US has different flags for different purposes. The national flag is the all-purpose banner.

Jump to postDo civil air ensigns get used these days? Only Commonwealth countries mostly seem to have any but even from them, I've never noticed one.

Jump to postThey did promise to not allow the third runway, so waiting until they go back before the electorate again is the right thing to do even if it annoys us.
However, they could at least give Heathrow mixed mode. It would be a stop gap that would cost very little (some ATC work to accomodate).
The bank did put a check on the card that I need to call to clear up as they weren't sure if it was me using it. I don't think the problem was OA per se, but rather just trying to buy something in Greece from the UK.
Jump to postThey're imposing a massive expansion of airspace over the period with a restricted zone around the South-East encompassing a number of general aviation airfields. Southend is also getting a D class CTR for the time (it's normally uncontrolled airspace).
