Just spent 13 hours on the most wonderful aircraft that I have ever flown in! The sheer power of its massive engines powering down the runway, without a single vibration or even a hint of effort as they launch this 500 tonne monster into the air is simply breath-taking. It just sits in the air like a giant goose at 41,000 ft. It titters at turbulence and winks at the wind, it feels like nothing could bring it down!

Don't even start me on Emirates Airlines, wonderful food, drink and service!

Which bit were you sitting in Jim?

There is a series of pictures of the first one collected by the airline. The crew did their pre flight checks and totalled the aircraft. They wound the engines up to full power and an alarm sounded. So, what did these arab twatts do? Check to see which alarm was sounding and why? No. The flight crew pulled the breaker of the offending alarm. The flight computer programme assumed that the brakes had been released and off the aircraft went, straight through and over a jet engine blast deflector completely demolishing the aircraft. It took a while for the pictures to come out, which they eventually did, as it was thought to be insulting to arabs. Unfortunately I no longer have them on my PC so I can't show them, but I wouldn't give them twatts the chance to dice with my life.

That was not an A380 that was totalled.
It was an A340. And it was Etihad not Emirates.

I stand corrected.
Still arabs though weren't they?

LOL ..never let the truth get in the way of a good story .

I think you will find most of the flight deck crews are either English, Australian or American. A couple of my friends fly for Emirates and they they don't pay any income tax (arise D Johnson)... and they're on $120,000!!... are you there D Johnson....

Von Boy... can't understand why you haven't made the move already. Think of all the money you could save! And you could always come back to England for the NHS.

Cushty!

Because I don't fancy living in Dubai... am quite happy with my tax I pay to the Canton and Federal Swiss governments...everyone should pay their way!!!
