What's going on with the flights ?

[Pondlife]

If BA are so confident that it is safe to fly, I would suggest they run some flights with their staff on board - how about the staff who went on strike recently?

i thought they did, with Mr Walsh himself onboard.

flights are running again for me,

tomorrow's equivalent flight today has flown, looks like I'll be ok tomorrow

hope I can get back too :-)

What are the odds of landing an unpowered aircraft, given enough height to reach an airport? Perhaps passenger jet pilots should be experienced glider pilots. Ones that only need one attempt at a landing.

I gather flaps don't work in dead-stick mode because there's not enough power to operate them without the engines running. So it would be a fast landing.

Like this one... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Transat_Flight_236

Middle of the Atlantic - out of fuel - 70 miles out from a small island....

False alarm. Hekla hasn't gone bang.

My flight for tomorrow has been cancelled. Now to work out how to get a refund from edreams.

I planned to do some work while I was away, never miss too many billing days. I am just thinking how much stuff to bring with me, hurts my head trying to work out how much underware I might need

Then just bring both pairs.

Then just bring both pairs.
