May 14, 201610 yr Taking a morning flight from Manchester EGCC to Tenerife (South) GCTS. Just a short while after top of climb About an hour to go.. Anyone spot an island? It should be right on the nose! There's a reasonably large hill nearby somewhere.. She'll be flying round the mountain when she comes.. All dirtied up and ready for the tarmac.. Why did Ground allocate us this gate? I hope the 737 doesn't want to move. Someone else can jolly well shift our 767! Some of the passengers are getting rowdy already (don't think the drinks trolley has any stock left). Hope they're not too drunk and disorderly and get out of the airport ok. Honestly, some days I definitely think that cargo runs are far better; palletised cargo does not get arsey, unlike the self-loading kind Well, that's just payback for Ground blocking in the 737: The jetway's broken! Anyway, the crew and I are off for a well-earned break... & a nice cup of tea! (Not sure if I'm off-duty long enough to enjoy a beer).

May 15, 201610 yr enjoy a beer You should do exactly so. Your post brings nice rememberance of my Tenerife stay in February - regarding beer, a Dorada is a good choice. Harald Geyer Gründer der Messerschmitt Freunde Dresden v. V.
