Air NZ crew heads home alone after LA suicide

wrote: You're both mistaken. Here in NZ it's called the ground floor. But in the US, it's called the 1st floor. Floors are numbered. Even the basements are numbered b1, b2, b3 etc. I always get confused here and say "I'm going to the 2nd floor." when I mean the first floor off the ground...since most I've met here call the first floor, the ground floor. Tarla **** Tarla, I haven't been following this thread too well. I remember Canada being pretty much the same as the US and IIRC the UK. Is the 13th left everywhere in the US and is it because of superstition? Silly question I know but need an answer. :-D Yep. Purely superstition.

(16) (15) (14) (12) (11) (10) (9) (8) (7) (6) (5) (4) (3) (2) (Ground Floor or 1) Perfect. Tarla **** A word to the wise is infuriating. --Hunter S. Thompson |

Very different thing. Huh??? You say you wouldn't let a small matter like someone splatting on your vehicle interfere with your duty to your clients. Absolutely not. If that makes me callous, so be it. GRIN No-one was talking about "callous", tough guy. I was talking about something *beyond your control*. And beyond your comprehension, by the look of it. |

GRIN Let's try the same diagram in a different colour.... One step at a time ... You are asserting that you are impervious to shock, is that right? |

You are asserting that you are impervious to shock, is that right? sigh....one LAST time. I'm saying WHAT THE HECK DOES A GUY JUMPING OFF A BRIDGE have to do with the people in the van in the vicinity at the time? And if you (or the airline) don't agree with that - or want to err on the side of caution and keep the crew on the ground despite at least some of them asserting they could fly the flight... WHY THE HECK SHOULD THAT IMPACT, DELAY, PREJUDICE, OR COST THE PASSENGERS? |

"Raffi Balmanoukian" a wrote in message news:BC6BF880.216D6%walkabout@TAKEOUTTHETRASHTOREP LY.ns.sympatico.ca... snip, snip, snip You say you wouldn't let a small matter like someone splatting on your vehicle interfere with your duty to your clients. Absolutely not. If that makes me callous, so be it. If a brick bonks me on the head, I'm injured. How much experience do you have of people going splat on your vehicle? Sounds to me as if you have none, otherwise you would appreciate the stress, anxiety and shock that these people have been through. And yes, I'm speaking from experience. |
