Work trip to Oslo to test some new equipment for…….Glasgow ATC.
Flew from/to Edinburgh.
Bit of an own goal but thems the breaks.

The standard of ATC in the US is utterly appalling. Completely avoidable but for the sloppy, lackadaisical and negligent way the FAA runs. They’ve had multiple near misses and warnings on runways in the last 12 months. This won’t be the last fatal incident this year.

I think it’s pretty generous calling it a nose gear collapse on landing , as most of the media are. From the photos it looks more like it crashed nose first into the ground. Tea and biscuits, without the biscuits.

Ban recently lifted by EASA but not yet by the CAA, hence the interest. Hundreds of pilots flying for them without licences, or the correct licences (which lead to the ban), historically terrible safety record, horrible airmanship from my first hand experience in the Middle East… I’d much prefer TK....

I know airlines are more likely to divert to an airport they operate to like you say but we can’t even get the diverts these days :lol: this just sums up AGS Absolutely nothing to do with AGS. I’m sure the actual (correct) reason for the divert will be in the press soon enough and then perhaps you’...

Glasgow city centre is absolutely vile. Overflowing bins, litter, gum, graffiti, piss, derelict buildings, boarded up windows, tat shops, charity shops, scaffolding, weeds, grime, absolute bampots…. No shops open late, atrocious parking options that are all extortionate, shite public transport optio...

They can’t win. If they had refused to build the A380 capable stand and lounge everyone in here would he giving them pelters. I believe it did keep EK sweet for a very long time and protected the airport’s prized partnership with EK. Nothing’s static though. Change is the only certainty in this ind...

There will be something for the 20th Anniversary but aircraft and crew availability are still hindering restoration of the 2nd daily.
