Following Germanwings thread below, a little bird tells me Marve's honeymoon flight is on Malaysian

[Ears are alight]

Airways. Mrs Marve-to-be said not to be too chuffed at that.

:shrug: Who doesn't love a bargain?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Cabin crew can be a little curt, but, you know, they're generally Malaysian.

Can't see why she'd be unhappy.

[Pat Vegas]

Not all doom and gloom.

[PSRB]

probably still will after flying Malaysian

Not being able to find the f**king thing afterwards speaks of an unacceptable degree of carelessness in my opinion, though.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

One might ask some pointed questions of the air forces of Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia, all of which seem to operate primary radar which is unable to track a f**k off great airliner.

It beggars belief that no one knows.

[Berni]

Perhaps they should have asked for some tips?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

would have little trouble with a 300 ton airliner trundling along at M0.82.

Meanwhile, a bunch of shifty-looking Asian air force chaps look at their boots and shuffle off sideways, whistling nonchalantly.

It stinks.

[Classic Jorge]

We're not ever going to go supersonic again, are we?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

as to be dismissable, I think. There would also be wreckage which would have appeared somewhere. It could just be that the skipper did indeed go mental and decided to float off down towards Antarctica just for ****s and giggles, but for that not be tracked at the time?

Baffling. Just baffling.

[Ashberto]

I may have asked this before.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

The old Tristar was a 0.89 aeroplane. Whoosh!

Until the much-vaunted hypersonic stuff gets going, we're stuck with these fuel efficient numbers :-(

[Berni]

[Berni]

Sad, sad seens. Progress has not just halted, we're going backwards. I was at a presentation the other day where some f**ker was proposing the use of sails on commercial shipping. :-(

[Classic Jorge]

Like a f**king Vauxhall Zafira

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Having established that the public will react to cheap fares, the industry had to make the aircraft cheap to operate.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Singapore in 17 days, now it's 21, minimum.

Ridiculousness.

[Berni]

[Ashberto]

[Ashberto]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I'd be ever so grateful.

[Classic Jorge]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Never trust the markets, a.

[Berni]

and one thing led to another.
