Mutley Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Means fuck all. It's O'Leary getting free publicity for doing very little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombay Bad Boy Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 It means the life of everyone on board depends on one thing: finding someone who can not only fly this plane, but who didn't have fish for dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballaughbiker Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 It's a wind up. Just ignore him. Even if you believe this nonsense, it's not up to him how many pilots are required... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Declan Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 All the airlines could run a co-pilot course costing a grand. Lasting a week, it would teach you how to land the plane and flirt with stewardesses. Then when enough people have passed the course, every flight has a free seat in the cockpit for people on a first come first served basis who've passed the course. Ideal for gap year students, and the retired. They could circumnavigate the globe, living off airline food for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hboy Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I don't know what to make of this. http://news.aol.co.uk/uk-news/story/ryanair-boss-blasted-for-pilot-call/1253353?icid=main|uk-ws-bb|dl1|link3|http%3A%2F%2Fnews.aol.co.uk%2Fuk-news%2Fstory%2Fryanair-boss-blasted-for-pilot-call%2F1253353 I reckon that soon they'll be delivering your Ryanair flight like a great big airfix kit and it will be upto the passengers to assemble the plane and give it a quick service before you can fly off to Malaga for 3p.

manshimajin Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Cant see the problem, Just need to read James May's latest book. Perhaps they could sell them on Ryanair - can't be much difference between landing an Airbus and a Boeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballaughbiker Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Not read the book but could he land it when the cat3b ils was off for maintenance and it was raining horizontally with a near limits crosswind? Just wondered... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
