    well they offered them special services but not in the way you mean!
    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

      If they delay the flight, they are a muppet. Doesn't matter if they just make it on board.


      Delay to flight = reschedule and a lot of work for ground and air traffic control. Of course, if you're a big enough muppet you don't give a tinkers what the implications of your attitude are. Well, if you were civilised and responsible, then you would.

        Ah, now we know your real name, Viktor Navorski
        Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

          Welcome back.


          I'd prefer to fly via ANU, pick up a Liat bus to EIS then get on a cat and sail it. You can drop bodies over the side on the way.

            Probably better off flying TWA or BOAC as neither of them exist either

                Not really for ATC or Ground Movement Control (new slots), more dispatch - how many hours do crew have left that day. SH PITA for pax, LH/MH cost to company in fuel to make up time. Some ground crew irritation if bags have to be offloaded and fuel, de-icing required. Effort by PIC to piss about with MCDU will make him rage on an Airbus. MCDUs will make anyone rage at any time though.

                  But from their perspective, success!

                      Do they make you rage as much as questions about A319/320 PTUs from punters?
