Re: RFA crew shortage as well as a Rear Admiral shortage....
I remember reading about someone who had a maths A-level but for some reason didn't have an O-level in the subject and was turned down for a job.

737 Runway Excursion in Senegal
A Boeing 737-300 aircraft has skidded off a runway in Senegal, injuring at least 10 people, four of them seriously. The incident occurred as Air Senegal flight HC 301 was taking off for the Malian capital Bamako in the early hours of Thursday, Dakar's Blaise Diagne airport said in a statement. The ...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
Good morning all, grey day with a bit of rain this morning. Currently 12C, forecast max 18C. I may have mentioned this before but I'm sure when I was at school it was "rooves" :-\ but that seems out of favour these days. Indeed, rooves is the plural of roof, staves the plural of staff (as in survey...

Re: New Self-Assessment Tool for American Airlines Pilots
The playback was useful for training new sim instructors, because it enabled the instructor trainer to point out the cues that a crew were approaching their capacity limits. This helped the new instructors learn whether more value would be gained by adding further workload or emergencies, or not. D...

Re: Chaos in USA
FTFY. There's a large amount of evidence, all of which needs further investigation to corroborate, and none of which is being allowed to be investigated further. Same as Bush-Gore 2000. The US election procedures have so many holes in them it's unreal. Essentially, incumbents have no motivation to ...

Re: Chaos in USA
And here's the real kicker. All the above means no-one has any real idea what's going on, or which way things will go in the US Presidential or any other upcoming election. A bit like some of the UK elections where the Tories won despite trailing in the polls. It was put down to the fact that they ...

Had a BIG hailstorm at lunchtime, clouds bumping into each other, sparks flying and heavy hail. Driving El Toyota around I realised that Left rear was quite low pressure, found a wind machine which charged a euro, it's new, used to be a freebe. Thing is it only took cards.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
I invested in an electric pump. It uses the same battery packs as a bunch of my other power tools, and I carry it and a pack in the van. The cars have to make do with pumps that plug in the cigar lighter socket, but that's still easier than having to use a footpump.

Re: Delta flight makes emergency return after exit slide separates from Boeing aircraft
It was a 767, it'll be a maintenance issue so I don't blame Boeing for this one, even though their name is associated with the aircraft.

Delta flight makes emergency return after exit slide separates from Boeing aircraft
A Delta Air Lines flight that departed from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City was forced to make an emergency return to the airport Friday morning after an emergency slide came apart from the Boeing 767, the airline said. A search for the slide was ongoing. "After the aircraft ...

Re: Rant of the Day v2.
I guess I'm lucky that they stopped bugging me some years ago. I assume some of it may depend on what presence you still have in the UK - I have nothing, so presumably they have decided I really am non-resident. We did have a few years in the early days where they'd demand a tax return from either m...

Re: Electric Cars II - Not Silly!
Another thing to consider is how much maintenance an EV needs compared to a petrol car. Basic stuff such as brakes and wheels is going to be the same, and I guess if it's a single-motor car then there is some form of transmission, but I wouldn't expect it to need much routine maintenance. Anything e...
