Overreaction to what was intended to be a private joke or justice in action :nenau

Fuckin Dimwit trolley dollies with a bit of authority . Over reaction would be an understatement .
It never ceases to amaze me how something intended as a private joke could escalate to the Level this did.
Are we reduced to a nation of Moaning Minnies !.. I cannot fathom how , someone with a bit of Cop on didnt bring this to a halt.
 
I think that it is a mistake to expect any humour from people who are responsible for 150 passengers in a little metal tube. Same with airport security. Bleak but there it is.
 
I had a joke with one of the guys wearing hi viz that get on/off the plane as he was carrying a roll of duct tape about what repairs he was going to do when he said to my daughter he'd just patched up the wing. After I thought it was a pleasant change to have a silly chat and how long ago you could do that without causing a problem.

I feel for the air crew but surely common sense should have prevailed in this case.
 
It ceased to become a private joke when they handed it over as rubbish. It was a very stupid thing to do considering how worried people are about the spread of it to the west and it is a life threatening disease. Our son, who has been Cabin Crew for 12 years ( has a great sense of humor also) was working in the Gambia/W.Africa region for 3 months. Back in July he was very ill, hospitalised and isolated until they ruled out Ebola thank God. I was hundreds of miles away and could do nothing but pray. So no, I don't think it's funny.

The guy was having a Private Joke with his daughter , when he wrote ebola on her coffee cup !...
Yes 150 people in any mode of transport is very serious stuff , that is absolute.
But this is bullshit .

In my eyes a far more serious regular event is the FACT that ryanair encourage their pilots to carry the absolute bare minimum of
fuel.
 
Slightly off topic but two weeks ago on Malaga flight the cabin crew asked the guy beside me if he could look at an ill passenger on the plane. He replied that of course he would but as a doctor of geology he didn't think it would help :clap. After she left he told me that it happens from time to time, as the crew look at the manifest to see if they have a doctor on board. As he uses his academic title it gets flagged.

I think you mean the bare safe minimum of fuel in accordance with the regs

I know a guy ,quite well , he says the less you carry the better your term bonus will be.
it is possible , that he is saying one thing , and means another ?.
I know nothing of Aircraft .
Except , that the Binlid , trolley Dollies are prone to "Overreacting" .
And , Keeping ON TOPIC , this is a Classic case of overreaction.

So , No , When i say the "Absolute bare minimum" i mean exactly that .
These guys are taking on Fuel by weight , they are not loading by Litre or gallon , but by Kgs ..? ..
