Well that's the first of my "new" 6 (days on) and 3 (days off) shift over with. 3 earlies (03:45-12:45) then 3 laters (12.30-21.30) then 3 off. Very nice and I tend to miss the horrible traffic being caused by the work on the A23 and M23.
Getting up at 01:45 is fairly unpleasant but overall an improvement on what I was on before.
Iraqi Airlines is one of ours now and they do not seem to have baggage weight limits. Very few are under 28kgs and the highest so far is 53 kgs. That's almost as much as Nick's chins weigh...oh and they have also been shot at whilsr trying to land at Baghdad recently.
Still, they pay good money; 1 Iraqi turnaround=8 Sleazyjets.
As for Turkish Airlines...
Most excellent! 
Do you get to prise stowaways from the undercarriage too....?
I think the flight goes via Malmo first, so they would get to do that.
Turkish Airlines now have to follow an Airfield Ops Leader vehicle to and from the runway as in the past month they have caused 3 major incidents
Incident 1 : Airbus A321, pilot told to hold to allow the oncoming Emirates Boeing 777-300 to taxi along Lima then Papa (taxiways) towards the runway. The Turkish Airlines pilot ignored this and continued then swung into the vacant stands 51, 52 & 53 with the Emirates passing along its starboard side
Witnesses say that the wing tips of the planes were less than 20 feet apart and the other wing of the A321 narrowly missed the airbridges on the stands it was driving across.
Incidents 2 & 3. The Turkish Ailines pilots misunderstood the instructions from the tower and taxied straight onto the runway rather than turning east and joining the queue to take-off. This resulted in 2 planes having to "go around" as they were on final approach and the Turkish planes were blocking the runway...
The funniest thing is that the pilots are now complaining that they are "being treated like children"
