Blowing a gale............Brought Bunny in for the night! Terrible day, loads of accidents on the road; went past the Airport this afternoon and saw a plane take off - I thought it was going to fall out of the sky - it looked as if it were being controlled by a remote in the hands of a tiny child! Scary.

Cheers Dad. I am trying to as much as possible really but the truth is can't wait to go back to see my doc first thing on Monday morning cause of some suspicious mole on my left leg that's grown bigger and darker in a way. Fun innit?

Thank fuck pilots are considered professionals in this country. In the US they pay iarline captains minimum wage...so basically you get the same sort of folks flying planes as you normally find on the tills in macdonalds.

I don't know how cold it is in Hartford, but it finally started to snow.

Logically, that's the worst post I've seen in ages.

And your spelling is terrible too!

How much do you need to pay someone before they can fly an aeroplane?

Cold, snowing and windy.....skies are blue and full of airplanes whose pilots only make $5.25 an hour.

Just go along with it, Cath. It helps Cambo feel better about living in Northern Ireland.

That must have been the same thing! Why is it though - I ducked! Plus ran into - not literally - an accident on the way past the airport - a van and a car - the van ended up in the central reservation; had to drive by; but both drivers seemed ok, but its at a junction where the wind blows mad anyway...........

I hate the wind

Well if you pay minimum wage, you get minimum wage workers surely?

Also, do you want your life to be in the hands of a person who has his mind on how he is supposed to feed his kids or pay his doctor's bills?

It's a well known fact that US domestic airlines believe they are running a winged bus service, and in addition to paying bus driver wages, they skrimp on safety servicing procedures and the like. Such factors are commonly the cause of many US domestic air disasters.

Apologies for my spelling, I was in a hurry to get to work at the time.

And I very much doubt it's less logical than "is AOC over-rated"

I believe you missed the posters points, Doc.

You're BONED, I mean O'Hare's only up the road, it's the hub for many airlines, and one of the approach paths goes right over your house.

PS, Comrade, at least you lot HAVE airlines, don't think there is a single line registered in NI ( tho we do build bits for boeing and bombardier)

PPS Burt, I think I covered them rather well actually.

Well, I read up a bit on airline pay, and I have to say, you're at least partly right. Regional airlines have shockingly low pay. The national airlines pay somewhat better starting salaries, with top pay in the six figures, as it was in the glory years....

Oh I know the long haul boys get proper pay (I suppose cos they have the option of pissing off to a foreign airline), but US domestic...as you say, shocking.

Come on Doctor !!!

Mind the difference between a pilot working for Aer Lingus or British Airways in comparaison with Ryan Air or Easy Jet...
