    I saw this on one of the news channels, lol all the people inside were also watching their OWN plane land on the TV's inside the craft, which must have been quite scary. Also a guy was taking a video inside, but luckily nothing happened, and I must say an absolute CLASS pilot landed that beast.

    Bet it STILL wasn't as bumpy as the landing I had at Minneapolis earlier this year, travelling with NorthWest! I'm sure we had an Australian pilot!

    Surely thats better than working in an office every single day for business? Although yes, it's probably worse than a holiday

    It is, but a lot of people think it's better than it is! 12 hour shifts per day soon tires you out!
