  1. Legislators often use the term .................... 'that the new legislation is not retrospective' - all that goes before is not considered - all that happens from now - changes
  2. your not saying balloons travel in the direction of the wind - shirley not
  3. kind thoughts for DRoll Phil - nice WHERE ARE YOU DUTCHROLL this site does not dwell to much on those that leave ..............
  4. The days of the A380 look numbered I thought the A380 was going thru some financial stress ? The dreamliner 787 had a battery issue ................ all solved apparently How Boeing fixed the 787 Dreamliner - Geek.com
  5. interesting how clear air turbulence (CAT) could be used to gain compo ................. I thought CAT was unpredictable I guess if in CAT, you were wearing your seatbelt, the seat fixings broke and you got an injury you'd have a chance at compo I can only guess that the chance of compo payment is a rare thing (or a good well kept secret)
  6. I would of thought; since we circulate in aviation circles that any / some compo payments to passengers would be common knowledge / or at least discussed ............ be good to see some examples of payment (if you're going to climb into a tube and fly at 300 knots with extendable wheels and a pot of hot coffee ......... there are some known risks before you buy the ticket)
  7. your frock would ride up over your knees ....................... if you have a need for a frock
  8. betoota advocate warns against craft beers: Report: 80% Of Craft Beer Actually Just Pasito
  9. I'm no expert but google says 2.5 to 3 mW wind turbine will produce 6,000,000 ! kWhrs per year @ 8 cents = $ 480,000 p annum ! (its a wonder they can make any money at all)
  10. probably not your land I'd guess - power Co would have a lease over it and they'd do any track / fence improvements
  11. $6 to $ 8k per annum per turbine for rent - ATO probably would like some of the income as tax though
  12. ......... quiet serious A judge would have to make allownces for a level of acceptable unknowns - decmpression - turbulence - flat tyres ? I was merely asking if anyone had some examples of $ and circumstances of payment from airlines (its probably all a very well kept secret) ....... reading legal blurb from a solicitors website might be a drag
  13. thanks Alf ........w'ell see if anyone has heard of compo with such events ?
  14. interesting comment Alf do you think there'd be actual compo paid for the passengers stressful event ? (I mean actual - not the guff about litigious world, spec legal action etc) .................... these events would have happened before - compo actually paid ?
  15. The only thing rec aviation has an advantage in ............. compared to other flying ....... is simplicity and ease of regulation (some might scoff at all that) If you got a car license you are medically OK to do some cheap ? Flying Gliding maybe also .......... I can't think of anything better to promote the sport than that Maybe we are in a doldrum cycle - we just need another good old fashioned economic boom (theres always one of those just around the corner !)
  16. All clubs, professions and groups want new blood I think people have been saying it for lifetimes ............... Its just the way it is
  17. great idea Bex ......................... anyone over 48 years - charge them double ............ or isolate them in a holding pen
  18. OK Callahan if you have done all the hours and experience (I'm sure you have) then let no one take that away from you - if you think this site or someone is then that's not fair ........ lots here shirley do welcome your posts and thoughts
  19. keep them coming Red ..................... enjoying this - don't know any yet
  20. religion and law (including aviation law) are our fabrics of society - might as will throw in democracy as well (some unspeakable subjects mentioned there) ........... best known fabrics to date (of course, I could be convinced by good propaganda, though)
  21. Thanks Keith $ 70 seems fair for some good people interaction (and probably smooth's over many legalities)
  22. how many $ / annum to join keithb ........... and what skills are Hars chasing and what is the scarcest skill you require (in general terms) - do you have good hangar tenure / security - are you getting Fokker friendship aircraft from NZ ?
  23. Commentators curse ...... ' .... lovely touchdown ....'
