Re: Heathrow Airport - General Thread I need to sort out my Jimbo avatar - he's trying to get in on my posts!

Re: Heathrow Airport - General Thread I heard about this! Crazy. When people get into power that plow on regardless. Now it's even more expensive! Terrible :s_omg Yes, indeed, you are right about the language used by the transport secretary - a little slippery. I think a new runway at either...

Re: Heathrow Airport - General Thread It's been announced by the Transport Secretary, Justine Greening: "we are very clear as a government that there will be no third runway at Heathrow" Announced at today's ABTA Travel Convention. Right... Well that changes everything! Now what? Boris...

I'll award big points to those who can up with an appropriate movie title :lol:

My God, was there an earthquake as well?

So there couldn't have been any smoke? Why would people make up something like that?! I wonder if the panicking cabin crew was made up as well. All pails in significance when compared to the severe loss of life in Pakistan at the weekend.

"A survey has revealed that major international airlines are set to abandon Heathrow Airport in favour of less-congested sites." http://www.airport-int.com/news/airline ... rport.html So here we are again, but this time it seems altogether more serious. Apparently 50% of carriers are preparing...

Like this. Nothing too dramatic and it wouldn't change the overall procedure. Alternatively, some inspiration could be taken from water parks. Obviously not a torrent of water, but maybe a light oil or something? How about throwing a crash mat or something soft at the bottom? I agree with...

Couldn't agree more :) thank goodness no one was killed. "Smoke in the cabin" while you are airborne must be absolutely terrifying! Strangely enough, there are reports coming out that suggest most of the injuries sustained where from when people were attempting to leave the aircraft...

James, you've hit the right note with that one :biggrin: Social media really does place choice in the hands of the consumer. There are many examples of where advertisers have tried to exercise tight control over a social media campaign and it has all come crashing down around them. These are big...

In this particular scenario (KLM Meet and Seat) the way Facebook and LinkedIn are designed makes this sort of abuse extremely difficult to achieve. The networks rely on positive connections being established with other users, where profiles appear in the context of highly visible conversations...

Thanks Aviador ☺ just putting it out there! That’s fair enough that you agree with the TheLocalYokel on Meet and Seat, but don’t we run the risk in everyday life of sitting next to people we don’t like? However, I guess there would be more pressure to “get on” if you had personally profiled...

I don’t think you’re that much of an “old curmudgeon” ;) you are an administrator of a niche web forum, a person who oversees and interacts with an online community, so you must have some appreciation for how digital can be social i.e. how technology can be a vehicle for sharing interests and...

I think it's essential to get the views of those who don't use the platforms, so don't count yourself out! Interesting point you made about the dating agency. I must admit, that is what sprang to my mind as well. Interesting how they felt that choosing two men would temper that association - it...

Hello all, Like a lot of twenty-somethings, I'm a massive fan of social media and what it can do to "improve" the way we experience services. So imagine my excitement when I discovered this little gem from KLM: Meet and Seat http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eL2lWn7oup4 In short, you can...

< Sounds about right, but I'd like to read a little more information on this, if you have a link to an article or some statistics? I can only see the expansion of Heathrow as a positive / absolutely necessity. The Aviation industry is one sector that is absolutely booming despite the troubled...
