Volcanos and Flying

BA are advertising flights to Europe on the MSN website despite all planes being grounded in the UK and parts of Europe.  A volcano in Iceland, with an unprounceable name to anyone but an Icelander, is pouring out particles of glass into the atmosphere.  These particles kill aircraft engines so it’s too dangerous to fly and no-one knows when it’s all going to stop.  Rider got to wondering what kind of flights BA were offering. Had BA been secretly developing an airship so as to cut the crew they needed?  Given the recent strikes by disaffected crew it would make sense to management. Maybe family sized balloons would be offered with larger ones for larger parties, although frequent comfort stops would have to be made which would make crossing the Atlantic etc a bit of a difficult logistical problem. Wouldn’t it be lovely to travel in an airship at a leisurely pace and be able to walk about – to visit the lounge, the bar, the cinema, the restaurant and finally to retire to bed during the journey.  What a great start to a holiday – gazing down at the slowly moving countryside. OMG Rider strikes with random big idea… fortune to be made…must phone BA
