What is ‘back of national ID’ @Apple, this? I am a British citizen — I have a UK passport — why can’t I use it for this upgrade for UK customers? Or do we have to wait for @leicesterliz to introduce digital ID to be unlocked from websites? Is this — a buggy update not even flagged in the detailed release notes that nobody reads — what we should now: buggy digital authoritarianism by secret after back room desks with dodgy @SciTechgovuk baureocrats after moralistic nudge campaigns to get people to believe you are doing this to protect child safety, when the evidence shows the exact opposite. I have often thought of giving up Apple - but I think this may be the last straw.

@DazLFC79 @Worldwar_3_ That is correct, however doesn’t the Republic of Ireland rely on the uk and NATO allies for air defence?

The Intelligent @OctopusEnergy Go tariff is great and we were all happy to keep our 7p rate BUT.. You can still get (for now) the February version of the IOG tariff FIXED. 7.5p v 7p means about 40p per full charge extra if that. Filling my home a treat a smidge more but we are coming into summer. We will also get the reduction on 1st April so the day rate won't look at bad. I can't see the IOG staying around as is for long FLUX has already on its way to being updated. Even if you already have a fixed if it's only for a few months left i'd still consider it as its summer coming up.

@PippaCrerar Same reason we’re being denied local elections for second year in Sussex. They’re terrified of losing to reform.

@SH_92_x My other half still believes this despite the house having a modern mains pressurised system. Our old house had a cold water tank in the loft but didn’t this idea come from old houses having lead piping?

@benji787 @Fahadnaimb Yes and the 737-200 had them as well. BA eventually had them removed.

Bet you've never spotted airstairs on an A320... unlike Ryanair's B737s where it's basically standard gear! ✈️ While Boeing offers built-in airstairs as a factory option on the 737 (Ryanair loves em for speedy boarding without jet bridges or mobile stairs), Airbus A320s rarely have them. The A320's higher ground clearance makes integrated stairs longer and heavier, so most operators stick with external ones. Only a few early commercial setups or special variants (like military/corporate) use 'em. cool rarity... shows how design choices shape ops, but 737 wins for efficiency here. Seen an A320 with airstairs ?

@dbdegn @ABridgen In the event the UK is wiped out and all contact is lost with the Trident submarine fleet, the submarine Commander opens a letter containing instructions from the current prime minister. I wonder what it might say?

💥UK faces a nuclear strike This warning from Tucker is correct,the UK is in extreme danger but nothing is being reported in our MSM.Russia know who they are really fighting in Ukraine, it’s the UK. As I said in 2024 the UK is at war with Russia our Government just hasn’t told us

Every now and then we have to do a period of reserve. This is a block of ten days where we are available at short notice to cover the unexpected or illness of another pilot. Yesterday I was called out to fly to @PHXSkyHarbor Phoenix where we had some lovely views over The Rockies. But can you spot anything slightly unusual from one of the photos? 😉🤨

@British_Airways @toryboypierce Hi Raj, take a look at what BA used to offer on these routes back in the 90’s. There were also more seats on the 757 shuttle routes compared to the A320 now. I wonder what customers would prefer?

@toryboypierce Hi Andrew, we know time is tight on these journeys, and serving a full hot breakfast has become challenging. To make things more comfortable and ensure you still have a pleasant start to your day, we’ll now be offering a fresh continental breakfast on these routes. Raj

Now @British_Airways is axing cooked breakfast in business class on certain routes. British Airways is dying at the hands of its Spanish shareholder Iberia. Hence continental breakfasts

@ConditionerGodn @Turbinetraveler There’s strict criteria for decent below MSA, if the Turkish pilot believed he didn’t have that criteria met he did the safe thing to refuse the clearance.

A heated discussion occurred between an Omani air traffic controller and a Turkish Airlines pilot over the altitude for lighter holding approaches to Muscat Airport using ILS guidance. The controller instructed the aircraft to descend to 2,200 feet, but the pilot refused, stating that company charts specified a minimum safe altitude of 3,600 feet. Despite the controller's efforts to assure the crew that 2,200 feet was safe, they refused and insisted on descending no lower than 3,600 feet. 📹: AviationWG
