It's normal on all airlines Hosta - the 'inhouse' training. My work colleague's BIL is a pilot with Emirates. There's a lot more to the Ryanair saga than that horrid little man would have anyone believe too. He treats his pilots like s**t.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
We use Ryanair a lot, it's quick, convenient and cheap. The air hostesses on our last flight were smiley and lovely. But if no one used them would those pilots even have a job? Are there too many pilots nowadays?
We've been sweeping leaves off the kitchen terrace, the lime tree is moulting. I now have several large sacks of what I hope will be leaf mould.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
I loathe Ryanair with a passion. Fortunately, we don't need it for Possum's flights here for Xmas or our forthcoming meet in Bilbao for Halloween. I know cheap flights are little more than buses with wings but they still need skilled and competent staff to make them work and they should be treated with respect, as should the passengers who pay for it all and line the profit coffers. However, as long as we in the developed world continue to want everything as cheap as chips we have to remember that someone, somewhere, is being exploited to produce it whether it's cheap clothes at Primark and the like or cheap flights and hotels.
Glad your OH is home safe Pat. Hope he scrubs up well and gets a good sleep.
Been pottering, literally - moving all our pots of roses, clematis, hosta, mints, assorted other stuff to be lined up against the south facing wall of the annex so they're sheltered for winter and we can get in and clear weeds and mole hills and get the grass cut along the front of the ruin. it's the only place the grass is lush from me watering pots. More pot to move and tidy and sort this pm.
Need to talk to bulldozer man about clearing our pond so I can plant the weeping and twisted willows and my gunnera. No leaf fall here yet tho my golden rain tree in a pot has turned early and is the most gorgeous glowing amber colour.

Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Farmers ought to know better ... you shouldn't set a fire when there's a wind ... back in the day Pa used to burn off stubble ... he was very careful to check wind conditions and there were tractors with bowsers full of water just in case ... I can't remember him ever having one that got away from him ... sometimes a field couldn't be burned off because the weather was wrong ... it just had to be left.
Think your hubby and his mates are heroes!!!

Doesn't look as if there are too many pilots BL ... rather the other way around http://www.fta-global.com/fta-news/pilot-shortage-looms-but-uk-and-european-commercial-pilot-licence-issues-are-down

Hubby said that over 2000 hectares have burned. It was startedby the farmer burning off and it got away from him. Enough said.
Hubby has to be back down at the fireshed at 7 am tomorrow. They are hoping for air support this time.
