Re: Monarch Airlines ceases operations, thousands stranded

Gutted! My favourite airline gone. At least I got to fly with them one last time in November and spot them one last time a month or so ago.

My thoughts go to all the staff and stranded pax.

Can you operate a DC-9 in the UK in 2017?

Simple question - can a DC-9 legally operate in the UK in 2017 given noise regulations etc. with or without hush kits?

Re: The future of airline aviation...

I've long considered what the alternative will be to jets once fossil fuel burning is banned. I think that'll come faster than self piloting vehicles.

The best I can do so far is prop aircraft moved by electric motors powered by hydrogen fuel cells. Sounds pretty slow, huh?
