so sad and I have to wonder, as others do, if they were all wearing seat belts. Not saying this would have saved them all but if they were not then maybe accident investigators could suggest how many might have survived if they were.
In Hampshire, UK, last week the police were doing a crack down then giving offenders a choice of points and a fine or going to the fire station for education on why they need to wear seat belts - much more direct than the video on driving license application...

Why don't they use prometric? I recently did a prometric test at Temple Uni and they are very strict about checking photo ID and moderating the exams.
If they just do a blind test on the web what do they expect?

It's a cancer!
We had one of the nicest guys in the office really slandered on there and it was awful. It was such a bunch of lies and rubbish - usually people don't name names but in his case they did and there was nothing we or he could do about it. Fortunately for him we and HR knew is was a pile of - well you know what...
The very least they could do is stop allowing anonymous posting and insist on a verified legitimate email address.

you'll see the same in just about any meeting held in Japan - someone will be asleep. It beggers belief that people truly believe that Japan is a dynamic fast paced with it country - NOT TRUE. Anyone that has worked there will be happy to debunk most western myths about Japan

This is getting more and more common. Virgin sell off the exit row seats and when they offered it to me I tried to make a joke of it saying before they used to look for people like me - reasonably fit male traveling alone who could help people out in case of emergency and at the very least get the door open.
Didn't work - didn't pay - they plane was half empty so had plenty of leg room.

I try and avoid national carriers these days and anything out of America because the staff seem to think that they are more important than the customers.
Virgin Atlantic is probably my favourite - great staff, great entertainment system, great food. Last time I flew back to the UK I travelled down the back and ate everything on offer - never done that on another airline, not even the one time I flew first class on BA...

the first two - normally I buy on the internet from overseas because I can't get the item in Japan but also sometimes because it is cheaper.
I also do all my birthday and Christmas present shopping for friends and relatives in the UK on UK sites to cut down on the shipping...

much nicer than the cheerleaders for the TwentyTwenty England v. Pakistan games last week.
Most teams in the world outside the US don't get their own plane and here the cheerleaders do - crazy world!

can we get men only ones as well so we don't get stuck behind some woman putting on her face for 30 minutes? Maybe a urinal type one like they have on the shinkansen so we can be in and out in 30 seconds?

I would have bought an eReader but the price of them is too high still and more staggering is the price of eBooks. The prices of both have got to come down - if they do I think demand will go up and they could possibly make even more money. Stack them high and sell them cheap!

The dangers have been known about for years - in general I would say no but then I would have to qualify that by the number of years that they have been smoking.
What is blatantly unfair is that when you see a 100 year old person saying that there secret to longevity is half a bottle of whisky and a packet of cigarettes a day!
