• Airline BA to cut capacity, delay new planes
British Airways PLC announced Friday it will ground aircraft, slash seat numbers and postpone taking delivery of a dozen new Airbus A380 superjumbos as it faces a recession-driven decline in passengers. • BA TO CUT SPENDING BY ONE FIFTH
The economic downturn has hit demand for air travel British Airways says it has cut its capital spending for the financial year 2009/10 by one fifth as it tackles the economic downturn and less passengers. The airline said it had cut spending by 20% to £580m ($952m) from £725m, and had lengthened its schedule of orders for 12 Airbus A380 aircraft.

I had the opportunity to meet some of the original A300B test pilots, as well as the a • Artful Flying
One thing you never want to do is give me a book to review. I read them quickly, but often take forever to getting around to telling people what I thought of the experience, which pretty much defeats the purpose of the review ? at least from the stance of the author.
