Lifejackets on a plane

Is there a possibility that lifejackets could use the same principles of inflation as vehicle airbags? I know airbags inflate too rapidly, but if the inflation rate could be regulated, you could dispense with the gas bottles, plus have no more of those random inflations that sometimes happen in lockers in the middle of the night! Just a thought - I really mustn't make a habit of it! /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
 
Snowleper. Your post is doubly sad as you have simply not bothered to read the careful explanation, but it also displays a level of criminal negligence that could, and should, get you banged up for doing what you suggest. You also seem unable to accept that you are wholly, legally, morally and socially in the wrong which is pathetic. People like you endanger the lives of every traveller that gets on the same aeroplane, thats not imagination, thats fact. Please dont go calling the honest decent ones names like that.

I have a very good idea what is under my seat thank you (well, its behind mine, actually), and under yours too unless you or one of your ilk has stolen it (they do, regularly). The reason I am so sickened by your appalling attitude to safety regulations is because the bus I drive is an Airbus.

Do you treat safery regs on board your boat like this?
 
Try ST Thomas when you are over Charles - perhaps they could mail order for you. The yanks are very efficient. I love St Maarten - have a great time.

Mash

That was brilliant. game set and match

Truth now, you did set them up just a little bit didn`t you.

Abuse? Did you not call the poster a "moron"?

Don't consider that i'm your avarage guy in the club bar because I can honestly say the chances of you "putting my lights out" are well beyond you. believe me.
Think of your previous response to the poster and ask your self if you have not been abusive?
If I look at the profiles of the two of you who consider the busman comments to be from a moron and the I see that you are both IT people what conclusions can drawn?
 
Mash,
Sorry but I have have reacted to this without seeing your excellent response to those who have been abusive to you.
regarless that infact you are a pilot, this forum is for everyone and there was obviously a derogative message being made to what i could only assume they believed was a menial or lowly position.
Any way, well done and an excellent reponse.

Regards.

Peter.

If I've got this wrong, what should I assume an "MD Heating Company (Industrial)" actually does?

Confused of Farnham.
 
Why should it make any difference? The pair of you thought it appropriate to abuse and belittle who thought was a busdriver and in my case as I did. What makes this so amazing you are concerned that he has been true with identity! why should he. the sitiuation is appalling.

[/ QUOTE ]Where and when exactly did I call the busman a moron? Please edit or retract your statement to the singular.

And if it is his type of humour to call himself a busdriver, I would hope he has the humour to accept a ribbing.
 
when someone starts a 'debate' with language like 'imbecile' he's not going to get a hearing from me regardless of whether he has a valid argument. had he (a) indicated his qualifications and (b) kept his language above playground insults i would certainly have given his views consideration and perhaps suggested the sensible alternative of removing the cartridge from the firing mechanism!

I couldn't send (or was told I couldn't) a fridge-magnet by air-mail.
(Sucking of teeth) "It could cause problems with the plane's electronics."

I wonder if planes are not allowed to fly over scrap-yards?
 
Re: Bigots

Congratulations, I applaud the attitude.
If some people would stop stereotyping due to declared employment status; and their inability to think out of the box , we would hopefully be able to end the ridiculous golf club mentality of class,race and ethnicity.
We all have a choice of our own lifestyle, what we want to achieve and what we wish to shout from the rooftops.
I have found SB and PBO to be informative with some very knowledgeable and humorous members.
NOW. EVERYBODY .CAN WE DROP THE ATTITUDE AND REALISE WE ALL HAVE TO CO-EXIST. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif
 
Mash,
When I saw your response I guessed that you were an Airbus driver. It is educational indeed to have an answer - even a somewhat ill-tempered one - from a professional. I assume that we, perhaps irresponsible posters, made you rather angry, which is understandable.
Could you please explain why some airlines say that it's OK for lifejackets and CO2 cylinders to be carried, whilst others say no. Surely if there was any danger from explosion/inflation then all carriers would refuse to carry them. It is such inconsistencies that encourage people to bend the rules.
I've also read a report in the technical press - can't remember where, sorry - that stated that trials showed that using proprietary H.H. GPS's on board would have no effect whatsoever on the aircraft's own navigational equipment. Hence the comments I made earlier.
Thanks for your input.
John.

I saw a TV news report recently about a US carrier allowing the use of mobile phones on board an aircraft in flight as an experiment. There was a suggestion that they may not cause any interference to aircraft systems after all. When it comes down to it, the only thing that's certain is uncertainty.

As a brother can understand why you would get annoyed.

Now this may shock and surprise many of you but whilst serving in her Brittanic Majesty`s Imperial Royal Navy I too carried the nickname of Bus Driver.
It was a short early morning domestic flight at Sydney from HMAS Penguin to our landing at Garden Island.
Like Mash I too had to instil rules on my passengers in the interest of safety.
Ie;
(1) Be attentive to the briefing
(2) No swearing at the driver
(3) No one allowed on board if drunk from the night before (that one always thinned them out a bit).
(4 ) Everyone to remain seated whilst crossing the bridge.
(5) No moonis from the back seat.
(6) No sandwiches
(7) In the event of an emergency all passengers were to remain seated whilst the driver got out first.
(8) No one was allowed to touch the steering wheel, no matter how frightened they were.

In case you think this is a load of bollocks I have enclosed a pic of me taxiing to pick up passengers prior to take off.
