  1. Is it the Chinese year of the squirrel?
  2. Very sad news. Really feel for the family.
  3. As far as I’m concerned. Saints not relegated. Liverpool don’t win anything. Pompey lose in the playoff final.
  4. What? Already?!!!
  5. Brilliant!!!
  6. Joke ALWAYS_SFC
  7. Seen Tadic take worse ones trying to score!
  8. Quite apt that this thread was started by Saint Charlie
  9. ‘Clear goal scoring chance’ is in use today with fouls on players and should be a red card. But we saw on Saturday that that is also down to the opinion of the ref, and the player was only yellow carded on Saturday. I’d love to see the refs get investigated more for decisions they make. Tottenham should have ended the game with three players sent off and so many decisions that blatantly favoured them. They (and other ‘Top Six teams’) surely must know that when playing a team out of the ‘Top Six’, that they are more likely to be awarded a foul for a lot less and be able to tackle a little harder than the smaller teams’ players and therefore exploit that too? They do a ref watch on Sky and would be interesting to see them analysing Saturdays game. But I expect they won’t go into too much detail as it was blatantly favouring a ‘Top Team’ and this is what Sky want.
  10. Time to make a cheeky insurance bet.
  11. Derry - For commercial ops, and operating in most of the countries, only one of the pilots may be over 60. A bit like only one pilot allowed an OML (medical restriction). Lighthouse - I think we are assuming this wasn’t a commercial flight as there are too many legalities making that impossible. Micky - Air Accidents Investigation Board, Fedoral Aviation Administration (The US version of our CAA (Civil Aviation Authority)), Airline Transport Pilots Licence (The level of license required to be a Captain on a passenger carrying commercial flight), European Aviation Safety Agency (policy makers for European standards), Air Operators Certificate (A Certificate issued when a company demonstrates to the governing body of their country that they are suitable to operate their aircraft for the type of flying they are involved with), Operators Proficiency Check (A simulator usually, or sometimes carried out in the aircraft with no passengers, check flight with an examiner. Carried out every six months, every other one is completed alongside an LPC (License Proficency Check (A more rigorous Check flight carried out every 12 months)). Aviation is full of acronyms! TTFN.
  12. 1500 hours is the minimum for issue of an ATPL. You need to show 200 hours of night, and, I think, from memory, 100 hours of instrument flying. Then you need to be assesed for Command suitability, usually in the sim, and be signed off. This is for EASA, I believe the FAA is similar. For commercial, passenger carrying flights, two qualified pilots are required. By qualified, both have the relevant licences, are typed on that particular aircraft, and have an OPC with the operator. You cannot fly single crew with passengers on a commercial (AOC) flight. You cannot use a single engine aircraft either for passenger carrying flights as far as I am aware, unless those regs have changed recently.
  13. Hi Derry, I think this would have to be a private arrangement/flight. You can't operate as an AOC flight on a single as far as I am aware, not even a turboprop.
  14. It hits home hard, as a football fan and being a Commercial Pilot for a living, it's two things that are very close to me. My thoughts go out to all those touched and hurt by this, and other tragic events that happen daily.
  15. Got an insirance bet on now.
  16. They’ve been drinking milk at half time.
  17. Put a cheeky bet on that Saints would go down to ten men in the first half and that JWP and Long would score. 2500000/1, stuck a monkey on it. Also placed an insurance bet that Leicester win.
  18. Was just about to type that!
  19. Mark Hughes....twice.
  20. Let’s hope we don’t milk bottle it against Derby so we get through.
  21. You’ve forgotten; I’ve got a shed, that’s bigger than this..... .......Angus Gunn do do do do do do
  22. Great to be winning 3-1 again. Brings back memories of a united squad, staff and fans while on the climb up.
  23. And learning a lot of learning.
