    Question Your dream job?

    If you could do any job in the world, what would it be/have been and why? There's two things I've always wanted to do. The first would be a football scout/youth team coach, as I think the satisfaction of spotting a talented 8 or 9 year old that no ones ever heard of, signing him up, seeing him...

    Plane Crazy!

    After every flight, UPS pilots fill out a form, called a 'gripe sheet,' which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight. Never let it be said that...

    Airline applies 'Fat Tax'

    http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/uk-news/2009/04/16/airline-makes-obese-pay-double-fare-91466-23403882/ Something i agree with. As i believe i have said on here before, why should 2kilo's of luggage be any different from 2 kilo's of Fat? It all costs the same in fuel!

With airline charging more and more for add on's, is it about time a persons weight should be considered when booking a flight? I understand this is an area, which in todays...

    Brand disloyalty

    Passing through Heathrow the other day, I saw a lot of adverts for that airline XL. First thought was - "That's the mob who sponsor those tossers West Ham" That then got me thinking - would I avoid putting business their way because of that? I'd certainly not be inclined to go to their website...
