Don't you ever stop travelling? Have you calculated your annual carbon footprint - must be at least a size 12. My carbon footprint is zero - I never leave the sofa. Methane emissions are rather high, though. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amadeus Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 I’m offsetting it by telling other people not to travel. Does that work? Twenty minute delay. Already thinking is dinner options in London. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don’t use the term “adjacent Isle/ Island””. It makes me grind my teeth which is not good for me. Thank you 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amadeus Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Might have cheered too early. Bags still not loaded, sitting on tarmac and the clock is ticking. Ffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably too late for it to get here and out again. I hope I am wrong, for all the people who need to travel but this is heading for yet another cancellation. That'll be the third evening Gatwick cancelled in a week. Are you keeping up @Stu Peters LPL was also cancelled this morning as they were and aircraft down and easyJet chose to cancel IOM rather than BFS.

Yes, I'm keeping up but I don't work for the airlines. If they can't stick to their own schedules (and I expect it costs them fortunes to fail so badly) there's nothing I can do. There's no SLA in place under Open Skies. I suggest people should vote with their feet - I hate boats (especially this time of year) but would seriously consider it over a commercial flight at the moment. As other have said, it's not just us - the whole air transport industry is in disarray at the moment. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amadeus Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 You can’t make this shit up. First inbound plane delayed. Then no one here to load luggage and now the tug is stuck to the plane and they’re waiting for an engineer. Sitting on the tarmac and hating air travel a lot right now. Fuck this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Base a couple of aircraft here. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure they will. I’m surprised the government haven’t gone into airport valet parking themselves in order to stifle private enterprise snd waste more taxpayer money. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
