He also claimed the worst place to be during an emergency decompression is the last row, this is because the aircraft goes into a steep dive and so all of the masks drift forward and people take the masks from the row behind by accident.
Unlikely; if the dive were that steep, the aircraft would exceed Vne quite quickly...and if you consider the acceleration forces, I would expect them to be hanging backwards rather than towards the ground...
I recall that BGI took a long while to consume their entire stock of old boarding cards in the old scheme colours - a strange A6 size with a punched hole for their local machines, and a multitide of colouring indicating cabins...I seem to remember that the TV displays there still showed the speedmarque and a BAW flight number last time I was there.
Who cares though - at least it doesn't say BOAC or BEA. I expect one old printer at one desk somewhere has not been reprogrammed in all these years.
Nitpicking is a little tiresome. There's also a fly in my soup...
sunrisegirl - the sticky substance is strong enough to remove the red colouring on my elderly passport, though they are not as bad as AA's permanent baggage receipts, which BA in NYC removed when I wasn't looking, causing a permanent sticky spot...though I understand why you have been trained to do that if people throw away boarding cards!
