I didn't know we had an absolute tit on the site!
Welcome!
I made a fairly reasonable comment to you and you retorted with a smarmy snide reply.
I'll not post anything to you again because you seem to be the type of person who enjoys arguing like a complete failure.

Re: Icelandic volcanic ash alert grounds UK flights
Well my hubby is an Aircraft Engineer, and whilst it isn't totally known if the cloud could bring down a plane there is a well documented flight incident where all 4 engines of a BA 747 were stalled due to the plane flying through an ash cloud:

So I would certainly be erring on the side of caution - I also am wary that the flights resume due to pressure - just my opinion though...

Apparently the situation has changed again - more ash on the way.

I dont really understand why everyone wants someone to blame? if planes were flying and falling out of the sky would people be happier

"Apparently the cannon can only take four at a time, so we've had to leave one behind. We went for the ginger one. I'd imagine the French will probably just eat him."

I'm not sure I want to be under the flight path of those first few flights that bow under the pressure of not losing any more money/passengers
