I have come to the conclusion that some airlines should simply NOT be let out with aircraft. They are just a jolly liability.
A certain flight each week arrives late with monotonous regularity. The staff of the said airline always tell us that they put the “about to fall apart” machinery on this route. Announcements made on a regular basis about “Engineering Difficulties” appear to verify this.
Today we received a fax to say that the inbound flight wasn’t arriving, and hence there would be no outbound. We all just looked at each other and shrugged. I guess that poor Boeing had to be laid to rest eventually. Mutterings such as “Wonder which wing fell off this time?” and “Bet he didn’t drop his landing gear” were to be heard, as they are heard at least twice weekly.
My comment “Don’t bother with the rivets, pass the sellotape,” met with nods of agreement. My colleague who makes model aircraft as a hobby is threatening to send the engineering department his CV.
