Is Your Maintenance Plan King?

Picture the scene: You’re going on holiday to a nice warm Greek Island, hotel is all booked, you’ve got your Euros, everything is sorted. Then we have the drive to the airport, always slightly tense, you find your parking spot and get on the transfer bus. Then its security, belts in the box, shoes off, shoes on? So confusing, but finally, you’re through, relax, time for a beer, after all we are on holiday now! All we need to do now is what we are told, when we are told, and we’ll end up at the right aircraft door. We survive the boarding scrum, we are welcomed on board, we find our seat and wrestle some space in the overhead compartment for our hand luggage, often asking… “how were they allowed such a big bag on as hand luggage?” “Taking up all the space…and they are not even on our row!”

Eventually we are all seated and strapped in – ready!

Imagine then the pilots walk in, after us, and ask, “Erm, remind me, where are you all going today?”and after we nervously reply they continue to say, “Greek Islands, I guess we have enough fuel for that.”

Mmmm, Mr ‘super-sized’ Case might even leave that behind in the panic to get off!
