For those wanting air miles, I can confirm the Virgin red app’s rail ticket system appears to allow any ticket collection. My wife tried to buy some tickets the other week but little did she know her chip didn’t work. We stuck in my Amex instead and it worked. You also get 3 Virgin Atlantic...

Its a public space, there's no expectation of privacy.

Which basically means freeloading off the existence of the union. The union's hand is stronger if more are in it Again, which involves freeloading off the existence of the union. Not all battles can be one. Its not if you're a criminal, but if some hot shot prosecutor thinks you being on...

We undertand where he is coming from, but at the end of the day, he's managed to scam something he's not entitled to simply because he was a squeaky wheel.

I was taught that its the taking of another person's property with the intention of depriving them of it permenently... so you would have to not have permission and know it... ...Thats not to say it isn't a different crime though.

If someone is looking for a loophole in clear bad faith - that is to say its not only clear that they have broken the rules, and they knew that they were breaking the rules, but are trying to find some way out of the consequences, then no. If someone has broken the rules and is willing to...

I may not know trains, but I suspect he gets his train knowledge from the same place he gets his aviation knowledge...

So in no way comparable to a train situation. In any case, I stand by my conclusion given your complete misinterpretation of what the auto flight system is, what it can do, how much work it saves (or creates) and just how many landings do not use it.

I think you would do better if you didn't get your facts about aviation from movies. There is no record of it happening on an airliner, and only a very small number of light aircraft.
