I really like your comment Sean Awning it would also be a good confidence inspiring move for the customers!

I believe there are armed police at every airport in Britain, but they remain fairly unobtrusive. We normally only have armed police here in Britain as backup for special events etc where there might be a security threat. Police are not routinely/normally armed.

Why should non flyers need to pass that far into the airport? It's already crowded enough, surely they can say goodbyes earlier without potentially clogging the system resources.

Exactly the same scenario & reaction by the pilot in charge of a similar aged 737 was the cause of multiple fatalities at Kegworth UK (Approach to East Midland Airport in UK (8th Jan 1989). A pilot friend of mine made the comment -" When one donkey shows sick don't unhitch the other one if you want to make progress!"

Stepped over the boundary from acceptable conduct - Congrats to Ryanair for the correct action.

makes a lot of sense. Flight /aircraft reliability & fuel savings made are sensible, could be a bit boring & might mean that onboard "Flight Gymns" become the new fashion!

Could it be paranoia?

BEA Comets weren't commissioned until after the fatigue problem had been addressed. Are you sure that the Comets you travelled in weren't the early BOAC ones? - I travelled back & Forth to Bahrain from boarding school for summer holidays several times when the redesigned models first came out starting in 1959 I think. Lovely planes. But, the best was the VC10, followed by comet & Lockheed Constellation!

It's mostly been said already - Just senseless bullying vandalism of a crazed dictator. The Russian people are generally honourable. However, they're lead by a crazed megalomaniac who won't allow them the truth and bans them from seeing true News reports. He only came into power by false election results. He now can't even tell the true situation from the lies he tells. NEW DEFINITION OF LYING! After lying about his intentions he & his spokesmen say his lies about not attacking Ukraine were justified misdirections to the Ukrainian Government & the world!
