I never fill out a survey that were there is no scope to put your own comment in (assuming this survey one was the same)

I think such surveys are deriving and answer the the surveyor wants to hear (or use)

could she borrow someone else's card and if interrogated (not likely) .................. then explain that the borrower said it was OK ?

stupid stories ........................... it'd make a good thread dutchroll - we'd all like to hear some ? - I can see the sensitivity of your position though !

its pretty obvious that the majority of airline messages are legal cover / disclaimer. I myself would not mind one announcement that encapsulates it all

'welcome aboard this flight to XXXXX, be warned that if you are concussed, injured, burnt, broken, scalded, poisoned, infected, assaulted, insulted, annoyed, aggravated (etc), during or while arriving within and / or departing any airport terminal, this aircraft or any transport system involved in your travel - then this airline will not enter into any further discussion - you are on your own dearest passenger - assuming that you will enjoy your flight as best you can ........................ if you arrive at your destination safely '

sleep ......... sleeping on the airlines !

- seat belt / cabin warning buzzer every 30 minutes - if there is no warning required - press it anyway

- overhead lockers that have latches - they don't need to be slammed - slam it anyway

- cabin speakers turned up too loud that your ears ring - turn it up loud anyway

- patronising messages stating that you can't smoke in the plane, toilet or terminal (why say it ?) - say in anyway - turn it up loud anyway

geotechnical prize: Prof Mud Walla's comprehensive thesis confirming that dust, is in fact only mud, with all the juice squeezed out

specify nothing specifically ............. but, encompass the whole thing (an unknown things) in a performance requirement that has to be achieved - yuck

what could possibly go wrong bexrbetter .................. is it the Chinese way of doing things ?

when completed we'd like to hear the test results of your experiment Rob J

and 2 yearly rego's (why not 3 yearly rego's) ........................... or registration for the owners ownership term of the plane

Nice one Maj .................. probably something that every aero club should do - but does n't

Don Ramsey

you seem active on this thread and I think you are part of the RAA office .............................. has 2 yearly registration been considered for aircraft ......................... is there a possibility this may happen - or is filling coffers the primary objective ?

thanks JM

asic card or not, I'd like to see the anti-terrorist movement install a vehicle crash barrier around the entire perimeter of Brisbane airport ....................... inside the fence would be much safer then

congratulations fact-hunter -

I am at 380 posts - I'll pretend he as at zero and see if I can stay ahead of him

I think consensus is how many active RAA members are there

.................. and how many of those use this site ?

geoffreywh ............ here's alittle ditty that covers that quiet well (utube so you should be able to get to it)

I think Ian should organise a brass pipe band and jumper out of cake for this occasion

I think its a great achievement ................ shows ticker

I reckon it will be a worthy event when Facthunter will break 10,000 ............ it's close

Is this top score or has someone else got there ?

...................... what does the just about taking off button do ?

that's a fair bit of de-acceleration .............. wondering if feet were glued to the pedals

expensive tastes Hongie - try and curb that if you can ............................... I'd guess $ 4000 for the F4 bar stool (eject seat)

I've enjoyed reading what employers think are ideal attributes a candidate needs for their job ............................. a couple of things to ponder though:

Thing 1: no matter who you are you always serve someone (disregarding the big fella upstairs, of course) ............ so those things you like to see in your candidates...................................... are they the things that are seen of you, above ?

Thing 2: not everyone has a good handshake, or hands, or a good haircut or good clothes. Sometimes when you employ people they may not fit your team - this technique should be tried also - its called giving someone a 'break'

Thing 3: candidate selection can't be an objective process - it has to be subjective (particularly with an interview panel !)

yes ...... knot a place you would want to make a spelling mistake
