Snow White Rose

It wouldn’t be an LBA thread without a bit of a defensive scrum as soon as someone mentions a delay! While the sarcasm about the "committee" having already cleared the airport of all charges is top-tier, we should probably look at the actual facts of the "disaster" reported by the crew. If we're...

'They' plural or 'they' singular, that one person? I'm guessing it is the view of just one person. So I wouldn't attach much weight to it. Who doesn't have the odd gripe about their job?

Seems to be becoming a regular visitor?

Add 150m to the opposite side and you get a runway length comparable to Cardiff which isn't exactly the longest runway in the world but it offers more flexibility than Bristol does at the moment.

I really don't understand the backlash. The proposed 150m extension remains within the current boundary of the airport. I accept new lighting columns would be outside the boundary (as they already are) but they take up such a small area. The impact would be minimal.

To suggest that something is either "safe" or "dangerous" with no middle ground is a bit of a binary trap. If you drive a car with tyres at the legal limit, it’s "safe" now, but you’re hardly going to argue against fitting new ones to increase your grip, are you? Aviation operates on safety...

Here here! Merry Christmas and kind wishes to those in need.

You did well there. 👏

I'm only echoing what has already been said but my thoughts are with both you and your mum.

I understand the concern regarding common land, but it’s important to distinguish between commercial expansion and regulatory safety requirements. The airport isn't seeking to "land grab" for profit. The airport is likely responding to mandatory international aviation safety standards. Approach...

The wind seems almost calm. Do we have any unservicable equipment?

Let’s start with this hysterical talk of a "land grab" mentioned in the article. What absolute rubbish. To describe a modest 150-metre runway extension as if it were some sort of territorial invasion is frankly embarrassing. It’s typical of the anti-airport brigade. They’ll seize on any minor...

The proposed runway extension was quite small wasn't it?

While that is unfortunate, delays happen at all airports.

I suppose the question is do dispatchers, pilots or ground ops managers ever have a small amount of discretion? If the gate agent knows the airbridge removal is still a minute away, and the pilot knows their ATC slot isn't for another 15 minutes, does the human element ever override the...

I’ve spoken to a few people who say they aren't necessarily 'put off' by Spain and the Canaries but they are avoiding it because they just don't feel welcome there anymore.
