I admire our BA girls for their poise and efficiency.

The can be said for most National Carriers.

I've experienced the following carriers:
Air Canada
Aer Lingus
BA
KLM
Lufthansa
Qantas

Out of the 6 I rate Qantas the top with BA 5th (& you'd be surprised who I rate 6th) :-)

I have also flown internally on American Airlines (previously American Airways), Air Canada, and Ryanair to Knock Regional airport. I still rate BA the best carrier and won't by choice use any other. Yes of course "flying the flag" comes into it as well.

Ryanair. Lol.
I don't think they have any stewardesses anymore taking care of the security and safety onboard.
RTFM.

We all know what RTFM means, is that of any relevance here?

What? You don't read the safety instructions that you find in front of every seat when flying?
Oh Perhaps not Ryaniar's flights.

Aircraft safety is not a case for jocular comment

Do you know what Coffe Talk means?

As an educated Englishmen yes I do.
"talking and rehashing the up's and down's of life, while sipping coffee, which does not necessarily increase the importance and maturity of those involved"

You don't have to be educated or an Englishmen to know that.

There's an old wartime saying: There are old pilots, there are bold pilots, but there are no old bold pilots.

Wonder if these fools will ever realise that fact

It is one thing putting one's own life in danger, but to put others at risk is selfish and stupid

Police said that the cause of the crash had yet to be determined.

And that is without a North Korea hacking it!

Oh dear. No backup in place it seems

Fixed - Just after midnight
Transport for Greater Manchester said it was "not an issue Metrolink has experienced previously".

It was caused by "a component attached to the Metrolink control network sending out spurious communications, which resulted in the safety system correctly shutting down".
