UK airports all closed

[stellinacadente]

NOt really seeing that as being a big profit for the airlines there

Exactly my point, m'dear....  modern airlines will use any excuse they can, I think, so they can whine about being 'strategic resources' and get lovely govm't money instead.

In spite of all these "losses" I bet you a new, garden-ripe tomato that none of the top brass in any airline is foregoing any of his usual perks and "bonuses"....

I'd rather pay airlines than AIG  at least they get me the places I want/need to go...

So final word came tonight...

after packing my stuff and getting ready for tomorrow long-haul...

well lovely British Airways canceled my flight (with layover in Heathrow)

what really pisses me off is that said airport will be cleared to function 2 hours after my flight was scheduled to land... result: the first rescheduled flight out of here April 26...

call it has you may I call it

They are saying their planes are all in the wrong places. You might have layed over in Heathrow for an age. But I could have visited you.

At this point I am going to go to the beach and start swimming West

Make a raft.  That way you can have a volleyball with a hand-print and a name of your choosing.

It's still errupting - could go on and on......

I rather like it when natural events prevent people doing stuff = it gives a proper perspective on things.

They will be lucky if there's not an incident.
