Yes, that's right - he is only the CEO of one of the world's largest airlines, and a qualified large passenger jet pilot.

Aye and a qualified scientist :erm: i hope :D probly got a degree in stamping his feet shouting "what about BA's share price".

Re: Airports closed as volcanic ash drifts toward UK
 

No, but he does have an MBA, Garry, and part of that (and being the CEO of a large company) is about risk assessment/mitigation ;)

So does my wife, and I wouldn't trust her on making judgments about volcanic eruptions :)

I am sure she will let you know when you let one off......:D

And do we actually believe bjorkiii's emotive meanderings about him making the decision on his own, or would it have been discussed at an operational board meeting, informed by expert advice?

The problem is, the Met Office are, and (if the register's article I posted a link to above is correct), they are basing their model on little actual data.

just been on hold to ryanair for 1hr at 10p a min and still got nowhere , low cost airline making shed loads on their phone number typical , where there is a crisis there is money to be made :-(((

Re: Airports closed as volcanic ash drifts toward UK
 

I'm happy to go with that and travel next week. The way i see it if there was any possibility of safety being at risk, the airlines would not put themselves in a vulnerable position.

He owes a lot of money to littlewoods catologue co i heard he ordered 4 cardigans last september and is 12 weeks behind :o:, these rumours are probly hearsay but you just never know.

Daughter is now booked on a flight to leave Melbourne on 4th May.
Is staying in Sydney until Friday, then flying out to New Zealand on Air Miles to stay with friends for 6 days, then flying back to Melbourne to stay with more friends before she comes home.
She wanted to go to NZ in a couple of years anyway, so she's saved some pennies now :-)
All's well that ends well.

So pleased to hear that they are home safe with you budwieser. I know it's been a worry to have them stuck away from you no matter how comfortable their extended holiday proved to be. :)
