Not to derail the thread too much, but he may not have had much to chose from in the hire a plane department. Just heard that there are 1500 private planes at Davos.
Just found out that a mate of mine was due to be the pilot on the flight, but swapped with another pilot at the last minute.
Shouldn’t the pilot have had concerns as it seems he had a difficult flight on the same plane when he went to Cardiff to sign a few days before?
Seems the pilot , who is from Scunthorpe, was only a part time flyer and had a separate full time job . Think I heard that it was this player's agent who arranged the journey from Cardiff to Nantes and back . An aircraft expert has said the 100 nautical miles over that section of the channel , in poor weather , in the dark and at a relatively low altitude would have been risky at best with most pilots not attempting such a hazardous route . Sadly my expectation is the sea has taken the two poor souls and their bodies may never be found . The Argentine boy seemed a lovely person and my heart goes out to his parents and siblings who must be devastated as will the family of the pilot .
That's scary, I know how I felt when an Avianca plane crashed in Spain, and I had flown on it 2 weeks before from Colombia to Madrid, it really shakes you.
I don’t see how they haven’t found anything yet. With all modern technology and it’s hardly the deepest depths of the worlds oceans, they have a rough idea of the whereabouts. How the **** have they not even found a single piece of wreckage? You’d have thought they’d have found every last rivet by now.
