Shear pin on an A320 bar went as we were pushing the plane out. It happens.

What happened after though  noooo: noooo: noooo:  All due to a fuckwitted Welsh  censored: And funnily enough, he's called Nick  cussing:

I suppose that is why they call it a 'shear pin' and not a 'never to break pin'...? ::)

I suppose that's why I wrote "It happens"  ::) ::) ::)

 lol: lol: lol:

Are you at werk? The kids are on their way back....  whistle:

Not today - beer and rugby today  :thumbsup:

::)

That means that "A" shift will be unloading the plane. They might get their bags about 9pm... noooo:

I'm tired of holding my breath here! WTF happened after the shear-pin sheared that was the source of the brouhaha?
"Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end." 

Well, someone had to say it!

I have always thought that the worst thing about drowning was having to call 'help!' You must look such a fool. It's put me against drowning.

It's started already  noooo:

SleazyJets in tonight from "summer" places - Bodrum, Kos, Rhodes, Izmir, Antalya and Dalaman. I'm sure when I started 2 years ago we didn't see them until late April/early May. Today (yesterday - Saturday) was mad busy - SleazyJet alone had 25,000 passengers.

Today (Sunday) they'll have 40,000. I'm back in at 09:30 for a "short" 12 hour shift so time for bed...

I really can't see this late shift lasting; at 9.15, 12 of us leave - that's 4 offload teams. That only leaves about 8 permanent members of staff plus about 8 new temps who can't drive any of the vehicles yet. As at 22:00 there were still 37 more flights to come in - most of them the "biggies" - Dalaman, Sharm, Hurghada, Paphos etc.

They're well and truly fecked. Apparently last night planes were on the ground for over an hour before anyone got to them - what a shambles.

I predict my new late shift will be 16.30 - 01:00 and that will start within a fortnight.

Oh, and I had a suitcase today with "Guaranteed for 5 years" emblazoned on it.  The manufacturer really shouldn't set me challenges like that... whistle:
