Flying can be pretty nerve-wracking nowadays, given long lines for security checks, missing baggage and nutty fellow passengers going off the deep end.
Well, some passengers on a British airlines just got one more reason to dislike flying the "friendly skies."
Folks who recently chose to travel to Paris, France on the more economical Flybe airlines soon regretted their decision to do so.
Why?
Imagine, sitting back in your seat , awaiting a landing at Charles de Gaulle airport, only to be interrupted by the voice of the pilot on the plane's address system, announcing to you that the plane is not going to be landing, after all. The 30-year-veteran informed passengers that he did not have the qualifications to land in fog and returned to where the flight originally took off.
A spokesman for the airlines explained that the pilot's actions were likely due to the fact that he wasn't trained to land in fog with an updated aircraft.
Uh...excuse me, but isn't it a known fact that Paris has fog? So, why'd they allow an unprepared person to fly the plane?
My advice? Travel by train next time. It takes longer, but, at least, you arrive at your destination.
Charles Out of Charge
