I flew into Belfast on Friday there and it wasnt far off that. The plane was bouncing all over the shop. I thought the wings were clapping together it was that choppy. I hate it when it is like that.

Frightening, my boss was on a flight into Glasgow on Friday afternoon and he said that his flight was really bad and there were people crying on the plane.

Friday was a bad to fly. I flew up into Edinburgh and it was by a mile the worst flight I've ever been on.

Sunday home was fine though, so you'll be fine BS!!

I flew into Heathrow a year back, terrible landing. Not the Pilot's fault the conditions were terrible, the passengers all gave him a round of applause, me included.

Was delayed an hour last Friday trying to get out of London City because of wind and the landing in Edinburgh wasn't far off the video.
Also had one recently at City, where a plane pulled onto runway as we were about to land. Full throttle from pilot and we banked round Canary Wharf. People were screaming. Pilot says very calmly, "Sorry folks, another plane has taken our parking space, so we will have to go round the block again. He was so calm, he was amazing, a credit to BA.

These boys n gals are paid very well as Pilots and most of it is seeing over the automated procedures now. It is no different from some idiot pulling out infront on the Motorway and you taking avoiding action. Granted not many of us has 100 passengers in our cars, but I would expect that save from any proffessional pilot.
