If you were dating a trolley dolly, who would you rather she worked for?

[towman]

Ok. Not exactly the name of a firm, but still made me laugh.

[zetec]

Wouldn't mind driving this one!!

Call me pedantic (hello Mr Pedantic ) But the 146 is a S.N. (Brussels Airways - formerly Sabena) plane.

Trolley dolleys are deffo a mixed bag - go on try your luck! (What can they do...throw you off?)

You obviously know your planes. I have had the pleasure of riding around in this little baby. On some of the airfields it has to be squeezed into, it is "driven" in full PH "hoon" mode. And the best bit? - the cockpit door remains open so you can see directly into the flight deck.

Served a customer yesterday that had "BENDER" embossed in big letters on his T shirt.

Oh crikey, the number of times I've been squeezed onto that plane! Did you ever land at that Austrian GP airport? What a nightmare!

No, but I heard the one near Mr E`s house was the worst. Which dept were you and are you still there? I was "culled" at the same time as everyone else, but now getting called back as a contractor. Rigger/Driver btw.

The first airline to operate 146s was Dan Air. I flew in one of theirs to Dublin in 1986. I've also flown in a Jersey European (now Flybe) 146 to (wait for it...............Jersey).

The 146 has no reverse thrust - it uses split airbrakes under the tail which also help steepen the glide slop.

My father started his career with Dan Air.
