Brazilian Serie A club side in Plane crash

Had a date with someone that worked in it a few months back and we spent the whole date talking about her job. I was fascinated. It seems a tough enough job you couldn't do if you weren't on the ball or hungover. A lot of concentration involved with all those planes on the ground.

As in the people who wave the lights on the tarmac directing planes?

If so they are called Marshals

A friend of mine does it, in fact she told me she had a date with a guy who looked like Stephen Rea a few months back

So both the pilot that wrote it, and the ground official that stamped it, both knew the plane was at the limit and said nothing

I don't like flying with dodgy airlines. That's why I rarely go to the likes of Macedonia. The amount of dodgy sh*te and lack of concern for safety is mindboggling in these backwaters.

Saw an air crash investigation about the Russian Ice Hockey team that were killed in a plane crash.
The pilot had a numb foot and leg FFS from diabetes and so had his foot on the brake without knowing while they were taking off and couldn't get the velocity they needed to get airborne. 
They couldn't give a bollix.  You can imagine the doctors testing him.  ''Ah sure he cant feel his legs. I don't give a fook. Not my problem.''

And you can imagine the pilot. Another clown.  ''Hmm I can't feel my legs but I don't give a sh*t if I might be dangerous to fly with because I want money. ''

You think we have dodgy ethics here...
