Re: Write your own Daily Mail aviation incident drama
BabyBel, come on Wodders, the brain dead down the back would probably eat the wax. We actually had a very nice cheese board with fruit just for the crew. I would ask for that to be put on the jump seat and I would nibble off that rather than have a crew meal. Most were pretty awful but I remember a good breakfast one with hash browns and baked beans.

Crew meals were always better than the things the customers got. One of my blokes used to inhale menu G which was a disgusting Cottage Pie type thing.
If you (as line eng) could get your hands on an unmolested crew breakfast and cook it yourself they were quite ok.
I meant the Laughing Cow. Was on a TV quiz last week.

Agreed. BCAL LGW to FFAM, hot breakfast served by the lassies in mini kilts. What a start to a working day...

FrankFurtAmMain. What we used to call it to differ from all the other Frankfurts around the world. Not an airport code, sorry.

I’m not in any of these photos, but it’s very familiar to me, how ever I lost count of the number of mistakes in the article and I’m bloody certain that JHK has never been seen in the Main Baggage Hall

Re: Write your own Daily Mail aviation incident drama
Three questions for ex-A:
1) Why is HMQ flying in a Luxembourg registered charter aircraft?
2) How are crew selected and screened for these flights? Obviously any old driver will do!
3) Why did the thunderstorm not cease for the Queen?

1. It was as you say a charter. 2. No idea probably the chief pilot as happens down here. 3. God is obviously senior.

Re: Write your own Daily Mail aviation incident drama
I would suggest that it happens a lot but most don't overshoot destination. I have woken up on a flight deck of 4 with the other 3 asleep.

Why don't pilots use their big watches to set personal alarms that would wake them before they arrive at their destination airport?

Various media have reported an easyJet flight approaching Gatwick declared an "in-flight emergency" and diverted to Stansted. In-flight emergency? Well.... Crosswind exceeded maximums at Gatwick. That's all.
