Re: Terrorism - 747 Crash in Dubai

Tim, Do you think it is ridiculous to think that the 747 in Dubai could have been taken down by a bomb? We now know that they can get them through security onto cargo aircraft, even combi's. With what is left of the 747 in Dubai, I find it hard to believe that they can rule it out so easily. It coul...

Re: Porter's IPO

I think you can find numbers to justify just about any ideology. Correct me if I'm wrong, but i think Q1 is normally the worst for any airline. I don't think that it is fair to compare Q4 2009 to Q1 2010. Generally when airlines release their Quarterly results they are compared against the same quar...

If we are on the way to pick up a patient we will usually use 'medevac' status.

To me this sounds like they were picking up nurses to respond to a patient somewhere else, which could require them to do a quick turn with the engines running.
