Back to the original errors posting......

A glaring one that used to be in High Life was in the info on transferring between LHR and LGW. It stated (might well still do!!) that the distance between the two airports was 26 miles IIRC.

It certainly is not 26 miles, more like 40-45

ELECTRONIC DEVICES:

Devices that have a flight-safe mode or flight-safe setting may be used in flight, provided that the flight-safe mode is enabled before the engines start running. These devices must still be switched off during takeoff approach and landing.


So how do you turn flightsafe mode on then when you have to turn the device off before takeoff?

Panic Stations

In the 'Ask the Pilot' section it would appear that BA aircraft are flown by two pilots, a First Officer and another pilot, the Second Officer????

This months Business Life magazine also features a section of 'BA News', probably written by the same clowns who write the in house newspaper of the same name. I was interested to see that we are now flying 'Controlled Descent Approaches', as opposed to those uncontrolled descents I'd previously been flying (waits for the Daily Mail 'Passengers in uncontrolled descent terror' headline). I think they mean Continuous Descent Approaches. I may be being extra pedantic here but it's a feature on descents but uses a picture of a crew flying a take off in the simulator (note the >10 degrees pitch attitude and advanced throttles).

I noticed the second officer thing as well, but i thought he may have been talking about either an IFE like they had on 747-300 and other old planes or, they have someone in the jumpseat during training. But neither made sense, so i just assumed they had someone watching the engine gauges incase they pss their oil out - he was after all flying 737s out of Gatwick...

lmao about the controlled descent approaches. Perhaps theyve adjusted the ILS radios...

Quite easy with a Nokia phone - switch the profile to 'offline' (or whatever it is called). Switch the phone off. Then when you switch it on, it will ask something like "Start in off-line mode"?

Alternatively just take out the SIM (though even then it will still search for a network in order to allow emergency calls, so the phone part isn't shut off).

Perhaps it's their job to check the handbrake hasn't been left on?

Or applied instead of FLAPS-FULL before landing!

Better than the alternative!
