    The new BA iPad App for the CSMs/CSDs gives on board crew notification of recent flights and any complaints filed against them….frequent complainers are now more obvious!

    I’ve always been interested in time – travel. At least I now know where to go to have a mature and frank discussion:

    ..and we thought reservation agents could be hard work this side of the atlantic!

    I just love that pilot. F*** PC speak! One should be allowed to talk in private whatever he/she wants to.
    The mind control in the US for the sake of PC is just outright ridiculous. The fact that the mike was open, was a pity but not a personal fault of the pilot.

    So the FAA will be warning all those pilots in the jump seat not to take video’s and post on U Tube or is it one rule for passengers and one for pilots??

    This one though is in UK airspace. Although its a long clip, there is a very amusing exchange be a BA pilot and Heathrow ATC about a compass direction

    What’s 90 degrees between friends….

    This business of cameras is silly. It is because it was an incident and when the Government is involved it cannot turn a blind eye. It is the same as the silly business on BA of not using your phone after touchdown. Everyone does it but if you are seen doing it when there is an incident they make a big production number out of it.

    I rememeber being threatened on a plane by a flight attendant in the 1970’s when I took a photograph of the Alps from a plane. Apparently it was illegal to hpotograph Swiss Borders from the air. Good luck gaining intelligence form my dodgy Polaroid.

    It’s also illegal to photograph Swiss military airports. Further, if you look at a Swiss map you will not see one printed on them.

    However, you can drive past them, drive down their runways, peek inside the camofluoged hangars and sometimes even open the doors. You see them as you drive up mountain passes and again when you drive down. Not to mention they are easily spotted on Google Earth.

    But it’s illegal to photograph them in case the Russians see where they are!!!

    Martyn, I’ve been volunteering at London’s Heathrow Airport as part of the 1000 strong Team Heathrow, welcoming Olympians, Paralympians, officials and journalists to London. You can read more about the programme at TeamHeathrow.com.

    When I get randomly selected for a pat down, I’ve nicknamed it the ‘pre-shift massage’, if it happens this weekend, I’ll be sure to keep my mind clear

    Best

    If it had been me, well it wouldn’t have, but just suppose, I’d be suing the TSA agent for sexual assault!

    Martyn…..in the best Dick Emery voice….you are awful…..

    I imagine that the TSA are going to find themselves in a sticky situation with this one….

    Actually that reminds me…if this chap had approached the screening just wearing a piece of sand paper over his manhood and announcedhe was travelling to a fancy dress party this mess might have been avoide !!

    TSA officer…”And what or who are you dressed up as ?

    Gloopboy…. ” Dick Emery of course”
