    Calmac / Northlink Ferry discussion

    Ah well, it's only taxpayers money. The GS/GR farce has already cost Scottish taxpayers £750mn or so once maintenance costs for elderly vessels that should have been retired are taken into account, what's a few million more...?

    Air India crash at Ahmedabad on flight towards Gatwick - 12/06/2025

    It can, as has been previously explained. The takeoff processes are laid down and it'll be apparent from other inputs who's hands were where at any given time.

    Lovely, but it doesn’t help anyone living on Arran.

    Air India crash at Ahmedabad on flight towards Gatwick - 12/06/2025

    Again, you're misunderstanding this. There is NO statement that even remotely implies that she hasn't had the access to the CVR, quite the opposite... The chair of the NTSB won't be listening to the CVR for every investigation, the WSJ article is stating that she wanted to listen to it in this...

    Air India crash at Ahmedabad on flight towards Gatwick - 12/06/2025

    They can't turn themselves off, it's not physcially possible... If they transition to off then someone moved them. This is why no-one, including Air India, has grounded any airframes or issued any form of maintenance advisory. It's well understood that someone moved them.What isn't known is who...

    Air India crash at Ahmedabad on flight towards Gatwick - 12/06/2025

    Because it's an interim report. They never contain all the detail. They give a brief summary factually of what has happened and avoid all speculation. In this instance its that someone turned off the fuel cutoff switches, which is clearly stated in the report. That's factually undeniable and so...

    Air India crash at Ahmedabad on flight towards Gatwick - 12/06/2025

    To repeat, it's a JOINT investigation by both the British and Indian AAIBs, plus the NTSB and Boeing. 1752823143 As above, all the investigating bodies have access to all the data... the interim report is a JOINT production from a JOINT investigation. Everything in that report has been released...

    Air India crash at Ahmedabad on flight towards Gatwick - 12/06/2025

    That will be identified specifically in the final report. It won't be at this point for the reasons expained above. It'll be objectively explained what happened and who did what, that's not blaming someone, it's explaining what happened in factual terms. If there's an understanding of why...

    I was trying to do an Asquith and be optimistic! I'm aware it's not likely to leave.

    Air India crash at Ahmedabad on flight towards Gatwick - 12/06/2025

    Most investigations have interim reports released that will detail an obvious cause for a crash if there is done, in this case the loss of power caused by the activation of the switches. The report is wholly objective and avoids any speculation as to why that happened as that requires a whole...

    Air India crash at Ahmedabad on flight towards Gatwick - 12/06/2025

    The Telegraph is now reporting this as well. I don't agree with your analysis of the rest. The interim report is exactly that, interim and is a joint production from all investigation parties. There are at least four organsiations involved in this, AAIBx2 (UK plus India), NTSB and Boeing. It...

    Global Airlines launch flights announced

    Asquith has form for very sunny press releases like this that don't match the reality so we'll see. it seems slightly strange (but there again, everything about this launch is strange) that they've paused maintenance to just let it sit costing money waiting for the next stage instead of getting...

    Global Airlines launch flights announced

    Various reliable sources in the reputable aviation press (Aviation Week for one, they even named the Saudi company involved) that caused Asquith to come out with what on the face of it looks like a press release denying that but in fact does no such thing when you look at what he actually said.

    ‘19% filled’ would be more accurate I think.

    I suspect the ‘succeed’ boat has well and truly sailed. It appears to be a triumph of reality over chutzpah.

    Global Airlines launch flights announced

    They're in the process of negotiating a large cash injection and shareholding with an ME company and refurbing the airframe with that money from what's been announced previously. As above, their future (if any) lies in ACMI work, probably Hajj charters from what has been reported.. Notably...

    Doncaster Sheffield Airport to reopen?

    To be clear all Ryanair have agreed to is to say hello to the operating company and talk to them. O’Leary has been clear as to his thoughts about an airport where the made losses last time round.
