Holiday advice

[Gaylord du Bois]

Interesting that the EU has said 'approved' vaccine passports could be needed.

If they're not happy with AZ that could knock a lot of people out of being able to travel.

Just something to keep an eye on.

EU's 'vaccine passports' only valid with EMA-approved COVID jabs

It raises a potential problem for Europeans who have had the Russian or Chinese vaccine. #EuropeNews

The Mrs' family live abroad so it'd be nice for her to be able to get home at some point to see them safely. Doubt I'll bite the bullet on a holiday this summer, I intend on saving up a bit more and doing a good 3 weeker next year, if my employer allows it.

I wonder when all these pilots are going to get requalified, they’ve been driving Amazon trucks for a year, they all must be out of date for currency, I can see the first few flights taking ages as they stop off at every airport on route to drop a parcels off, ha ha .

Not flying anywhere this year. I foresee a few problems when flights start to move. Aircraft do not like to be parked for too long.

A pitot tube obstruction caused a fatal accident involving a Boeing 757 off Puerto Plata. In February 1996 all 189 on board died when the aircraft stalled following a loss of reliable air speed indication on the captain’s side. It appeared there was a pitot tube obstruction by debris from a small insect that was introduced in the pitot tube during the time the aircraft was on the ground (20 days). Mud dauber Wasps it was believed.

I hadn't seen that link but thanks for posting. It just seemed logical to me that there could be problems. As I said aircraft do not like sitting around. They may get the odd fly around, but nothing compared to flying regularly. I hope I'm wrong, and everything is ok, but I won't be flying this year.
