And for those of us without Sky, a "new" series of Aircrash Investigations starts tonight at 9pm on Channel Five and continues over the next few Monday evenings.

Wow, this is dynamite! Prospective FAs have to pay a lot of money up front for bad training followed by an exam that no one fails.....

Ahh, the bit about the piece of metal that guarntees anyone sitting in 1A dies in an accident. I'm sure an expert in aviation related jigsaw puzzles might be able to clarify that one.

well, seeing as it's not on ITV1 and is up against Corrie, I'd hazard most of the Ryanair clientele have failed to tune in!

and, yes that was a wild generalisaton...
