    Virgin Australia Crew Incident in Fiji

    If by local you mean local Fiji media, then no. Crime is reported. If by local you mean local Australian, then no, we hear about generic Aus tourists getting in trouble all the time. What difference does a flight attendant uniform make?. It's not the uniform, they were not wearing it when they...

I still get leaves and carp in the bottom but most are already in skimmer before it sank. Thats why I went from...

    3 days of accumulation without a creepy crawly or robot. Leaves float into skimmer. Using a pool hose prevents this. Ensure pool water level allows this - Too high means the water level is above the skimmer inlet and leaves can't float in Pool thread???

    I don't have a pool creepy crawly or robot. I set the pool level so the floating leaves can fall into the skimmer box which is cleaned out. Not having a pool hose into the skimmer box means that floating leaves can float into skimmer box. I get most leaves that way. A creepy crawly with hose...

    Jeju Air Flight 2216 Crashes in South Korea

    It does not make sense etiher because they ground effect drifted down the runway and ?could? have known they did have enough energy when they were on final approach for the final time. Sure not a lot of time and they may also have been cognitively overloaded keeping the aircraft straight and level.

    Though there is a manual release for the landing gear. Perhaps they were worried about reaching the airport and kept the aircraft configuration clean - minimising drag?
