        Indeed.

        But that said if you can fly an R22 you can pretty much fly any other helicopter - Engine management not withstanding.

            there's a good reason why almost all helicopters have turbine engines. The R22 doesn't. Luckily it's range is so poor that it runs out of fuel before the engine blows up

              Which bit of free don't you understand?

              Where did you get that from??

              Our glorious Tory government want to replace EU membership with Free Trade. That means no tariffs on BMWs coming from the EU.

                Since they are going to (probably) place tariffs on our exports to them, we will (unless we're complete morons) do the same. There should really be a 50% tariff on BMWs, because only idiots buy them...

                  The place is riddled with middle management promoted beyond their levels of competence so the redundancies are going to hurt people with very few other options.
                  70% reduction in IT projects implemented a few weeks ago, mandatory savings in other areas too

                  they're trying to free up as much cash as possible to deal with the Trent issues

                  I think they've been wanting to do this re-structuring for a while, the middle management layers have ballooned and they could be a hell of a lot leaner and less bureaucratic, so this has been in the works for a while the Trent issues have given them the perfect excuse

                    Look, you voted for this and don't understand the basics. The Tories are morons as you put it. The whole point of Free Trade is you don't balance tariffs and quotas. Don't you understand anything you read??

                    Let me say it again: Free Trade means Free Trade, not negotiated quid pro quo. What the hell did you think the term meant?????
