I've never been comfortable as an airline passenger out of Queenstown.
Not incoming, funnily enough, just out. There's always an issue, somehow. http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/6529067/Pi...enstown-takeoff -------------------- ___________________________

This should never have gone to court. I have no idea why CAA have pursued it to the degree that they have. Muscle flexing me thinks and one which significantly erodes the regulators relationship with it's "clients".

I knew we were all going to die, the day a Qantas 737 delayed and delayed its take-off, then took off into a descending cloud base and dwindling light. He decided he couldn't get out after all, and then flew figures-of-eight with us under the cloud, ever lower. He eventually burned off enough fuel to get down to landing weight, and duly and quickly did. I want him in court, too... -------------------- ___________________________
