RE: How Many Hours Does It Take To Be A Pilot?

I got my CAA/JAA CPL at 120 hours (plus 15 hours sim), and will be attaining my ATPL at a shade over 145 hours (plus 45 hours sim) total; which makes 384 hours for a PPL seem ridiculous!

RE: Best Hotel You've Ever Been

1) The term was 'serviced apartments', but it was more like a hotel. In Sydney, overlooking Circular Quay, the Bridge and Opera House. We had a panoramic view - I can't remember the name though! I could while away hours watching comings and goings though! 2) The Venetian, Las Vegas. Fantastic rooms,...

RE: Aviation Photography VS. Spotting

I don't spot as in logging or writing things - I have a fairly good memory as to what I have seen before, but am not concerned with registrations. I just like to be around the aircraft, hearing the engines and watching them take off. Photography is what keeps me interested.

RE: What Is Your Average Post/day?

According to my profile, I joined Anet:

But by my reckoning that is actually 5 years and 10 days?

Anyway, it works out at about 2.4 posts per day.

RE: Monarch To Start Retiring 757s

It is quite possible that due to the age of the 757s and the maintenance they now require, that is has been determined to be more cost effective to operate payload reduced flights with the A321 as opposed to the 757.

Adoption may be a little weird for the child growing up with two same-sex parents, but I don't see why the couple would be incapable of bringing the child up just as well as normal parents (probably better, judging by some families here!).
