    kind thoughts for DRoll Phil - nice WHERE ARE YOU DUTCHROLL this site does not dwell to much on those that leave ..............

    The days of the A380 look numbered I thought the A380 was going thru some financial stress ? The dreamliner 787 had a battery issue ................ all solved apparently How Boeing fixed the 787 Dreamliner - Geek.com

    interesting how clear air turbulence (CAT) could be used to gain compo ................. I thought CAT was unpredictable I guess if in CAT, you were wearing your seatbelt, the seat fixings broke and you got an injury you'd have a chance at compo I can only guess that the chance of compo payment is a rare thing (or a good well kept secret)
  5. johnm
    I would of thought; since we circulate in aviation circles that any / some compo payments to passengers would be common knowledge / or at least discussed ............ be good to see some examples of payment (if you're going to climb into a tube and fly at 300 knots with extendable wheels and a pot of hot coffee ......... there are some known risks before you buy the ticket)

    I'm no expert but google says 2.5 to 3 mW wind turbine will produce 6,000,000 ! kWhrs per year @ 8 cents = $ 480,000 p annum ! (its a wonder they can make any money at all)
  9. johnm
    probably not your land I'd guess - power Co would have a lease over it and they'd do any track / fence improvements
  10. johnm
    $6 to $ 8k per annum per turbine for rent - ATO probably would like some of the income as tax though

    ......... quiet serious A judge would have to make allownces for a level of acceptable unknowns - decmpression - turbulence - flat tyres ? I was merely asking if anyone had some examples of $ and circumstances of payment from airlines (its probably all a very well kept secret) ....... reading legal blurb from a solicitors website might be a drag

    thanks Alf ........w'ell see if anyone has heard of compo with such events ?
  13. johnm
    interesting comment Alf do you think there'd be actual compo paid for the passengers stressful event ? (I mean actual - not the guff about litigious world, spec legal action etc) .................... these events would have happened before - compo actually paid ?

    wow ....... they all survived ! .............. lucky

    The only thing rec aviation has an advantage in ............. compared to other flying ....... is simplicity and ease of regulation (some might scoff at all that) If you got a car license you are medically OK to do some cheap ? Flying Gliding maybe also .......... I can't think of anything better to promote the sport than that Maybe we are in a doldrum cycle - we just need another good old fashioned economic boom (theres always one of those just around the corner !)

    All clubs, professions and groups want new blood I think people have been saying it for lifetimes ............... Its just the way it is

    great idea Bex ......................... anyone over 48 years - charge them double ............ or isolate them in a holding pen

    OK Callahan if you have done all the hours and experience (I'm sure you have) then let no one take that away from you - if you think this site or someone is then that's not fair ........ lots here shirley do welcome your posts and thoughts

    keep them coming Red ..................... enjoying this - don't know any yet

    religion and law (including aviation law) are our fabrics of society - might as will throw in democracy as well (some unspeakable subjects mentioned there) ........... best known fabrics to date (of course, I could be convinced by good propaganda, though)
  21. johnm
    Thanks Keith $ 70 seems fair for some good people interaction (and probably smooth's over many legalities)
  22. johnm
    how many $ / annum to join keithb ........... and what skills are Hars chasing and what is the scarcest skill you require (in general terms) - do you have good hangar tenure / security - are you getting Fokker friendship aircraft from NZ ?

    I confess I cautioned Bernie - Gravity Why does a caution give some posters angst ? ................. it at least acknowledges a post. Some subjects here life critical - most are not serious by nature It is also the most contentious 'like' to use - that's why I like using it. Where danger, anger, litigation, bigotry, gay abandon (you name it) is used - then that's a good time to use it too A caution can be given in a humorous vane (its not a traffic ticket from Mr plod) ................ take Bernie for instance (if this is the correct thread) - I assume he is a married man, yet he is aware his 80 year old next door neighbour ? dress's in an air hostess's uniform ............ this is an area of extreme caution for Bernie
