As they were about to alight, the passengers were stopped by PAS supporters who asked if they are voters. They did not respond.

2.25pm Batang Ai Although polling has ended in many of the remote districts, the counting of ballots will not be done at the respective polling stations as in the past.
According to the EC, for reasons of logistics and weather, the ballot boxes will be transported either by boat or helicopter to the main tallying centre at the sports complex in Lubok Antu. The votes will be counted there. The boxes represent about 45 percent of the ballots cast.
PKR had earlier lodged an official protest because it is concerned about the possibility that the boxes could be switched in transit. The opposition also complained about the 'over-bearing presence' of police even in the most remote districts. PKR leaders described this as an act of intimidation.
According to initial unofficial exit polls, BN is trailing in a number of polling districts. The main reason is due to the unpopularity of Deputy Chief Minister Alfred Jabu, who heads Salcra, a state government agency involved in projects affecting native customary rights to land. Many are unhappy with the agency.
2.20pm Bukit Selambau Police detained two men aged 37 and 54 at Kampung Bukit Lembu this morning for stopping a bus carrying BN election workers.

In the three fairly sizable polling districts of Sebangki, Mepi and Batu Kaya, the turnout was good in the morning and with two hours to go before closing, it has already exceeded 70 percent.
The unusually high voter interest has been attributed to several factors. The by-election is seen as crucial to both PKR and BN in Sarawak as well for issues such as native customary rights to land.

One of the indisputable protagonists of every room is the sofa. It is very important to know how to choose the most suitable sofa for our living room since it is an element to which we are going to give a lot of use. Since the purchase of a sofa is a significant financial outlay, it is better to be safe and not gamble.
To start, the ideal sofa does not exist, but there are sofas that can go to our living room and adapt better to our needs and those of our family, so to find our sofa we must follow a series of guidelines.
Think that it is something that you will use practically every day for more or less time. In addition, it will always be cheaper to buy a good sofa and reupholster if it wears out than to be buying a new one every 5 years.
Therefore, to know if a sofa is a quality you have to take into account a number of aspects. In the first place, it must have a robust appearance and a certain weight that provides stability. You can do the test by lifting it from a corner and shake it a little if it wiggles easily … bad signal (or is that you are very strong).
The interior frame is better if it is made with a solid wood of the considered hard (oak, birch, etc.) since it will be less likely to deform and will suffer less over the years. The frames of iron, aluminum or steel are also very resistant but we must be careful with the iron if we live in a humid climate, as they can rust.
The frame of a sofa is the surface on which the seats rest, causing them to sink more or less over the years. The frames of greater quality are those of elastic criss-crossed straps of springs and metallic ones, but it is more usual to find them of elastic straps crisscrossed, stretched and stapled to the frame, having to reinforce this tension with the step of the years.
The filling of the seats is usually made of polyurethane foam, feather or a combination of fibers, the latter being the most economical. A seat of polyurethane foam is of higher quality if it takes little time to recover its shape once we have gotten up. For this, the polyurethane foam must be of high density (a minimum of 25 kg per cubic meter). Feather-filled seats are softer than foam seats and have to be shaken to recover their original shape.
There are many types of fabrics for upholstering a sofa but you must always opt for one that is resistant to wear. Nylon and polyester are the most resistant because they do not fade, they withstand sunlight and humidity well, they repel moths, they can be washed with detergents and treated with anti-stain products. Polyurethane and PVC are waterproof fabrics and an interesting option when there are children. Other fabrics such as linen, silk, cotton or leather are also resistant but much more delicate than previous ones, so you have to think twice before buying a sofa upholstered with this type of fabric.


Maintaining positive B2B relationships between buyers and suppliers is increasingly viewed as a strategic effort, not simply a courtesy. But the interconnectedness of supply chains can create a tangled web of business connections.
Cloud-based spend management firm Coupa wants to help untangle that web. The company announced the broad launch of its Supplier Information Management service, a tool that helps businesses organize the data from their suppliers and integrate that information into their existing spend management portal.
The tool, known as SIM, helps businesses aggregate information on their suppliers. It's coupled with Coupa's Open Business Network, an online portal that allows buyers and suppliers to transact online and streamline the procure-to-pay process; data from suppliers is automatically captured from those transactions and exchanges.
According to the company, opening up its SIM tool was a response to client demand.
Corporate buyers can organize the suppliers in their SIM by country, commodity and other segments and include information, like financial information, contact information, tax forms and the like.
"We're introducing an industry-disruptive concept of right-time participation, where supplier data requests are imbedded into the natural buying and invoicing process, resulting in higher completion rates with less efforts," said Coupa Vice President of Strategy and Product Marketing Donna Wilczek in a statement.
The company pointed to heightened supplier relationships and a lessened burden of manual processes for accounts payable and vendor management professionals. The portal also helps businesses to maintain regulatory compliance for things like tax purposes, reports said.

This is what happens to your social network accounts after you die
By James Peckham
How to deal with a hard topic on your Facebook feed
Facebook has 1.6 billion users. Inevitably, a sizable portion of those people pass away, leaving behind a number of inactive social media accounts.
Last year Facebook took a major step forward in how to deal with the 8000 plus deceased accounts that appear on the social network each day.
Its Legacy contact scheme helped make dealing with the death of a loved one easier on the world's largest social network.
Jasmine Probst, Content Strategy Manager at Facebook told us at a briefing, "By talking to people that experienced loss, our product design team realised there were more compassionate steps we could take to support people and give users more say in what happens to their account in the future."
"As we were designing, there were two main experiences we were thinking about. Letting people choose their legacy contact and making it as easy as possible on the person who looks after the account."
You can select your legacy contact within the settings of your Facebook profile under the security tab. It will let you nominate someone who can switch on a memorialized profile. After you've passed away, your profile will read 'Remembering' above your name.
It'll also give the legacy contact access to change your profile and cover photos as well as download a file full of your photos and posts. Your legacy contact would also be able to post a message at the top of profile.
Probst said, "We created this to make it easy for the legacy contact to share information such as a memorial service or a special tribute to that person.
"Your other settings stay the same and your legacy contact will never be able to access your private messages."
If you don't want the fuss of a memorialized account or to have a legacy contact there's also an option for Facebook to simply delete your account after you've passed away.
Someone will still need to tell Facebook that you've passed on to be able to delete it.
It's for this reason that Facebook recommends having a conversation with someone in real life about your wishes for your social media account when you've moved on.
In early 2015, the Global Web Index found that the average internet user has over five social media accounts. Over a year later, that number could easily be higher.
If you've got over five accounts set up, that's a lot for your loved ones to go through and delete after you've passed. Many of your accounts are likely to remain online for several years.
But some social networks don't have simple plans for when you die.
Instagram for example, which is owned by Facebook, lacks such a scheme.
Instagram does let you memorialize your account if you wish it to, or it can remove it entirely. There's no way to set this up beforehand - instead, Instagram asks you to submit the deceased's death certificate to the social network.
A memorialized account works in a similar fashion to Facebook, but supplying a death certificate is yet another hoop to jump through.
The Instagram website reads, "We try to prevent references to memorialized accounts from appearing on Instagram in ways that may be upsetting to the person's friends and family, and we also take measures to protect the privacy of the deceased person by securing the account."
The same is the case for Twitter: you need to use a contact form to delete an account of a deceased user - there's no memorialized account scheme.
To be able to take down an account you'll need to be a verified family member of the deceased or look after their estate.
Once you submit a request, Twitter will email you for more information on the deceased as well as details of your identity and a copy of the death certificate.
LinkedIn is just as difficult to report a death to.
Not simple
The network needs your family member or close friend to bring details of the member's name, the URL for the profile, your relationship, their email address, the date they passed away, a link to the obituary and even the company they most recently worked at.
There's also no way to memorialize your profile on LinkedIn - instead you have to delete the profile.
Some opt to keep their social media profiles up after they've died, but it's also possible to set up your channels to keep working after your death.
Dead Social is a service that provides tools to help you continue using your social networking accounts after you've died.
When set up, Dead Social can send timed Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn and Google+ posts from your account or messages to specific loved ones on certain dates.
For example, you could send your spouse a happy birthday message on the right day every year after you've died.
You could even send video messages out to loved ones using the Dead Social service.
Innovative social
When you sign up, you're given the choice of six people who can contact the service after you've passed and kick off the messaging process.
The Dead Social website says it can "significantly reduce the grieving process and heartache caused upon our death.
"In a world where our communications are fragmented and leave a trace, we serve the requirements of society when trying to relocate these traces in order to collect and collate them."
Death on social networking accounts is still a difficult topic to approach, especially as the topic can be prone to hoaxes and pranks.
The subject needs to be broached compassionately and social networks need to offer a simple way to either remove or make memorialized accounts.
What is left online after we pass is soon to become as important to some as leaving a will and testament of your real life possessions. It's up to social networking companies to offer the tools to let you arrange your affairs properly.
Facebook is far more developed than its competition when it comes to the topic of death, but there is still a lot of work to do to raise awareness of what happens to your profile after you die.
Facebook is learning when to use Safety Check for disasters - and it's not easy

Twitter – a sort of micro-blogging or SMS messaging that allows one to reach many people quickly, is becoming ever more popular.
Regulation is clear, firms must be able to produce digital files. Now a U.S. Member Congress is using Twitter. Will Congress or the elected officials be able to produce tweets on Twitter in a case of e-discovery or will the judge throw the book at them?
What about the risk against your corporation's reputation and brand coming from these social networks and social media? What about threats and vulnerabilities?
We tell you what you should watch out for in this post.
As we explore this wonderful world of cyberspace, we must beware that that whatever we say, write or sing about is being recorded.
This does, of course, also apply to your workforce or colleagues using Twitter at work or from home. Just in case you thought it does not apply, usage numbers are growing rapidly in the U.S. and Europe, as well as Japan.
The above graph from a firm called Hitwise shows that Twitter usage is growing. This growth happens despite the several outages Twitter has had during the last 10 weeks and will likely continue to have in the next few months.
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure render electronic communicationsfrom both defendants named in a lawsuit and third parties who may have information pertaining to the case admissible in court.
'Here are the 60 named plaintiffs in these lawsuits. For those 60 plaintiffs, give us their tweets or Twitter messages during the course of the meeting or workday'.
Such a request might be approved by the court. Unfortunately, this raises a lot of privacy concerns that one does not necessarily must deal with if the company is just trying to get the things from the people involved in the lawsuit.
Text messages, tweets (140 character messages people send using Twitter) are likely viewed the same way as other forms of digital communication, such as e-mail.
Unfortunately, we also have to beware that whatever we say is recorded. In turn, when your employer is being called by the court to produce something, it is incumbent on you to produce it.
This is a no starter if not a no brainer. People will use it from their private smartphone , iPhone and so on during the workday and when off work. Talking about work as well as private matters.
Is the House going to limit the free speech of its own members?
U.S. Rep. Michael Capuano, Chairman of the Congressional Commission on Mailing Standards, is aware that using Twitter to reach one's constitutency means taking advantage of the social media. In fact, U.S. Congressmen John Culberson (R-TX) is using Twitter and QIK these two similar types of message tools for communicating freely with the public. Naturally, by being the first he is racking up all the positive public image points that entails making him even better known, something that might come in handy during re-election time.
One could suggest that all congressmen should emulate this behavior. Naturally, this would require change of some existing House rules that actually forbid members of Congress from posting "official communications" on other sites (webpages, Twitter, and so on).
What does it mean for the U.S. Congress and the European Parliament?
For an elected politician, may it be a minister, senator, member of the European Parliament or an EC Commissioner such as Viviane Reding who loves to Twitter, maybe :-), sending out tweets to followers – such as one's constituents – can keep them informed about the latest developments happening on the floor (e.g., how a bill is doing).
Nopnetheless, some legal barriers may have to be removed in some countries to allow elected officials to use social media effectively for the benefit of their constituents.
Also,e-discovery requires that you are able to produce evidence during the discovery process such as e-mails. I am just waiting for the first judge to ask for evidence regarding accused parties' tweets on Twitter. What will happen if they cannot be produced?

The fourth quarter of 2017 saw a slight rise in fancy color diamond prices over the previous quarter, thanks to continued appreciation from blue stones, as written The Fancy Color Research Foundation (FCRF) in a press release.
Across all blue fancy color diamonds, the index gained 2.6% over Q3 2017 and 5.9% compared to Q4 2016, with fancy intense and fancy vivid blues performing best, especially in the 1ct and 5ct categories. They also note that in Q4, white diamonds performed relatively better than fancy colored diamonds.
FCRF Advisory Board chairman Eden Rachminov said: "We are seeing a stagnant supply picture of important pink and blue fancy color diamonds. Rare pinks and blues are very hard to come by and continue to command significant premiums. After more than 18 months, we are starting to see some price stability in commercial yellow fancy color diamonds, in line with the performance of white diamonds, driven by lower availability".

Q: Pandas groupby aggregate apply multiple functions to multiple columns Have a dataframe, need to apply same calculations for many columns, currently I'm doing it manually.
Any good and elegant way to do this?
tt =  pd.DataFrame(data={'Status' : ['green','green','red','blue','red','yellow','black'],
 'Group' : ['A','A','B','C','A','B','C'],
 'City' : ['Toronto','Montreal','Vancouver','Toronto','Edmonton','Winnipeg','Windsor'],
 'Sales' : [13,6,16,8,4,3,1], 'Counts' : [100,200,50,30,20,10,300]})

ss = tt.groupby('Group').agg({'Sales':['count','mean',np.median],\
                              'Counts':['count','mean',np.median]})
ss.columns =  ['_'.join(col).strip() for col in ss.columns.values]

So the result is

How could I do this for many columns with same calculations, count, mean, median for each column if I have a very large dataframe?

A: In pandas, the agg operation takes single or multiple individual methods to be applied to relevant columns and returns a summary of the outputs. In python, lists hold and parse multiple entities. In this case, I pass a list of functions into the aggregator. In your case, you were parsing a dictionary, which means you had to handle each column individually making it very manual. Happy to explain further if not clear
ss=tt.groupby('Group').agg(['count','mean','median'])
ss.columns =  ['_'.join(col).strip() for col in ss.columns.values]

While reactions to the announcement of a Shazam! movie were mixed, to say the least, the reviews show the film is a wide success.
Earlier today, the popular movie rating site, CinemaScore, gave Shazam! an "A" score, saying, "Congrats to @ShazamMovie on your A #CinemaScore grade! Audiences loved it." Other films this year to receive an "A" grading from the site include Dumbo, Fighting With My Family, Five Feet Apart and How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World.

For 35 years, CinemaScore has been providing grades for films, which are determined by surveying audience members and having them fill out a ballot card. The company is based in Las Vegas, NV.

Ludwig Lesser (* 5. Dezember 1802 in Rathenow als Levin Jacob; † 2. Dezember 1867 in Berlin) war ein Kaufmann, der im Berlin der 1830er bis 1860er Jahre auch als Literat und Gründungsmitglied mehrerer Gesellschaften in Berlin in Erscheinung trat.

Leben
Lesser wurde als Sohn des Jakob Levin, später Lesser, in Rathenow geboren. Die Familie hieß ab 1812 Lesser, Levin erhielt den Namen Ludwig. Er besuchte das Friedrichswerdersche Gymnasium Berlin bis zur Sekunda.

1818 trat Lesser als Lehrling in das Bankhaus M. Oppenheim (ab 1820: M. Oppenheims Söhne) ein, in dem er sich über die Positionen als Buchhalter (1831), Kassierer (1837) und Disponenten (1853) bis zum Prokuristen (1860er Jahre) emporarbeitete. 1830 trat Lesser der Gesellschaft der Freunde bei, deren Sekretär er von 1835 bis zu seinem Lebensende blieb, deren Chronik er zu ihrem 50. Jubiläum im Jahr 1842 zusammenstellte und die ihn für seine Verdienste zu ihrem immerwährenden Ehrenmitglied ernannte.

Neben seiner beruflichen Tätigkeit veröffentlichte er Artikel in diversen Zeitschriften und Almanachen unter verschiedenen Pseudonymen und schrieb Gedichte. 1827 gehörte Lesser zu den Gründern der Sonntagsgesellschaft Tunnel über der Spree, 1833 gründete er das Wochenblatt des Sonntags-Vereins, das er bis 1841 redigierte. Er führte den Tunnel-Namen Petrarca. 1845 war Lesser einer der Initiatoren und Gründungsmitglied der Genossenschaft für Reform im Judenthume, die sich 1850 als Jüdische Reformgemeinde zu Berlin konstituierte und deren Vorstand er über einige Jahre angehörte.

Im Jahr 1835 heiratete Lesser Rosette Fabian (1811–1886), eine Tochter des Berliner Kaufmanns August Fabian und Enkelin von Marcus Élieser Bloch. 1839 wurde der gemeinsame Sohn Richard Lesser (1839–1914) geboren, Vater des Landschaftsarchitekten Ludwig Lesser.

Beigesetzt wurde Ludwig Lesser auf dem Jüdischen Friedhof Schönhauser Allee in Berlin.

Q: How to specify the style of just one header in an Ag-Grid? I would like to specify the Header style of just one column on my grid! I know how to configure the Header style for all columns of a specific grid. For that it's necessary to add on "styles.scss" file the following:
Example:
#IdOfGrid .ag-header-cell-label {
justify-content: left;}

How can I apply this style for just one column header?
Thank you!

A: Have a CSS class in headerClass property inside columnDefs like this:
columnDefs = [
{
  headerName: "Table Name",
  headerClass: "table-header",
  field: "tableName"
},
 .
 .
 .
]

In css, use ::ng-deep along with another component/class names if your ag-grid-angular component is wrapped inside different elements. In my case, I got the style like this:
::ng-deep .main-wrapper app-custom-grid ag-grid-angular .table-header {
  background-color: blue;
}

A: As per https://www.ag-grid.com/javascript-grid-column-properties/
You can add headerClass property to your column properties and add css for that class it applies only for that column header

A: To set column basic style, just give:
headerName: 'Title Here',
field:'title',
styleCss: { background: '#eee'; 'font-size': '15px' }

If you want to give style on some condition, then you need a external func, and call it inside column definition, as follows:
constructor(){
  this.gridOptions = {

    getRowStyle: (params: any) => {
      if (params.data){
        if(params.data.flag) {
          return { background: '#eee', 'font-weight': 750 };
        }
      }
    }
  }// end of gridoptions
}// end of constructor

When DK told me about the new (optional) twist for Recipe Marathon 2, of posting recipes based on a theme , I was so apprehensive to stick to one, owing to my tendency of easily getting bored of the stuff I make. But, at the very last minute, I have decided to have two weeks of November theme-based.
"Rather go to bed supper less, than run in debt for a Breakfast ".
This week I will be posting all recipes for 'Breakfast & Brunch' category. These are those unique ones, which I have always envisioned to make someday and the best part - they are healthy and easy-breezy recipes.
....Its a known fact that I am an ardent lover of eggs, for their rich protein content and unique taste. The inspiration of my first recipe is Anu's post, which she made from Stephanie's blog.
I have added a serving of veggies to these muffins and they make truly an amazing and healthy breakfast!
Step 4: Preheat oven for 350 deg and grease the muffin pan with some olive oil. Fill three-fourths with egg mixture and bake for 20-25 minutes. Serve hot.
Yummy muffins...would love to pick..lovely they r!!!
ooh, the muffins look so shiny and mouth-watering.
They look too pretty Siri.Perfect for breakfst.
Beautifully rendered. Will try these soon. I eat eggs for breakfast nearly every day and it's fun to get a bit fancier sometimes.
Great pictures Siri..surely different...looking fwd to all the lovely breakfasts!
Frittata muffins sound like a great combo..waiting to see your yummy breakfast dishes..!!
Love this. Really liked the use of fire roasted pepper.
looks divine! and i am just so hungry right now!!
Oh wow muffin looks so yummy, good theme siri. Will be eager to see all your Bf recipes.
that looks so great, siri!! nice idea!
Looks gr8! lovely soft muffins....well done!
This is one of the best frittatas i have seen.
The muffins look yummy. Some days back I came across an equivalent recipe, read wanted to try it. but then at that i did not have all the ingredients. so dismissed the thought. Now seeing ur recipe makes me think again of making it.
We love these for breakfast and they are so easy to make too.
I love these Siri... I will surely make them. Looks pretty easy and delicious.
wonderful muffins for breakfast Siti. great pic.
Hearty Thanks to one and all for such sweet comments..:) I am glad that you all liked the muffins.
I tried ur vegetable fritata muffin. it was great. my 3 yr old son loved it.


I really like this little neck knife. Aside from the Remora it's my favorite necker. The overall design says Ka-Bar, to me. The handle is comfortable and is well suited to wrapping with paracord. It carries well in a pocket, on a cord, or simply slipped under a sock.


I am using a Roteo trainer with a Misuro B+ installed on it. I recently replaced my Garmin Edge 520 and connected it to the Misuro and it no longer registers speed while I am on the trainer, just power. I changed the battery on the Misuro but this didn't change anything.
Is this a known issue and are there any known fixes to restore speed measurement when I am using the trainer?
It may be a configuration problem.
If you use my e-training app, all works properly?
I have this same problem both with Trainer Road and Garmin Edge 520. Elite's e-training app works fine so I was thinking does the e-training app calculate speed from the power since it knows trainers power curve?


Paul first described how Thomas Cook look for a certain amount of diversity in their pilots. They are keen to maintain a diverse demographic in both their student and direct entry pilots.
With regards to their direct entry pilots, they do recruit many pilots during the summer season, especially those type rated on the planes that Thomas Cook fly.
In answer to my questions about whether they prefer pilots that have gone down the modular or integrated route, pilots from certain training schools or whether the pilots are ex-military he said that it didn't matter. They are much more interested in the quality of the pilot that presents him or herself for the flying job.
As at summer 2010, Thomas Cook have just recruited pilots for their Cadet Training Scheme. Thomas Cook's Cadet Training Scheme is a sort of mentoring programme for ab-initio pilots. They do contribute something to the cost of training but the majority of the cost is still born by the student. Thomas Cook do mentor the students and offer them a guaranteed position as a pilot at the end of their training (as anything can be described as guaranteed in today's airline environment).
In their student intake, Thomas Cook are not looking for any previous flying experience. There are no specific academic qualifications required but Paul says that maths, science subjects and the likes of geography are useful at A-level but not essential. A certain academic ability is useful though in that there is a huge amount of material to remember for the exams.
Paul sees motivation and commitment to be extremely important in their students as the route to becoming a pilot is long and arduous.
Their selection process for the cadet scheme involves numerical and verbal reasoning tests, aptitude tests, psychometric tests as well as observing how the candidates work in group/team environments over 4 stages.
The successful candidates begin their training in November 2010 in Jerez in Spain with Flight Training Europe. The course is residential and takes approx 15 months. The students then emerge with their frozen ATPL. During their stay, Thomas Cook mentor the students and give them some financial support.
At the end of this training, the student pilots are then given some extra training including Jet Upset Training Course and a Jet Orientation Course.
Upon the successful completion of the course the students will be offered a 2 year fixed term contract to fly with FlyBE, Thomas Cook's partners in this scheme. At FlyBE they will be operating as First Officer on the Dash 8Q 400 aircraft. After this 2 years' of secondment at FlyBE, the pilots should be offered a place flying Airbuses or Boeings with Thomas Cook.
When I asked Paul about the guarantee of a job with Thomas Cook he said that they wouldn't be making this financial commitment if they weren't reasonably sure about being able to use the pilots once they had been trained.
In terms actual figures, Paul quoted approximately £70,000 for the course in Jerez of which the student really has to find around £60,000. Flight Training Europe has a good relationship with a Spanish bank to get the required loans sorted. Thomas Cook will then pay the pilots salary when they are at FlyBE.
Paul is confident that the Thomas Cook Cadet Training Scheme is the best one available on the market and is happy that they will attract the very best calibre of candidate. He anticipates doing one course per year but this is subject to change as market forces dictate.
I asked Paul about the route to the left seat and command of a big jet. He stressed that the route is quite a long one, up to 8 or even 10 years.
When you join with less than 500 hours you will be a Second Officer, being promoted to First Officer at that 500 hours. With an unfrozen ATPL at 1500 hours you will be promoted to a Senior First Officer. The hours required for a command are set at a minimum of 4500 hours but this more down to seniority rather than on hours alone. Paul says that they set the bar very high for their commanders.
Obviously, as a charter airline, Thomas Cook is very busy in the summer and much quieter in the winter. They carry a surplus number of pilots in the winter and recruit temporary pilots for the summer months. In the current environment, with the recent demise of several airlines, Paul says that there are sufficient qualified pilots out there for them to recruit. As the airline market improves Thomas Cook will probably have to recruit more full time pilots and then the challenge will be to try and find more places to fly during the winter months.
Thomas Cook fly long haul and short haul. Pilots tend to start on the narrow body aircraft, flying short and medium haul routes. They have bases in Newcastle, Manchester, Glasgow, Birmingham, Belfast, East Midlands, Stansted, Bristol, Cardiff and London Gatwick with a summer only base in Leeds. Pilots will be given a type and a base and they will be expected to live close to the base airport.
Paul thinks that the airline market is improving with middle eastern airlines now buying large numbers of new aircraft so he thinks that the future of commercial aviation is becoming more attractive.
Lastly Paul gave me a quick run down of his career in flying. He has been with Thomas Cook, as Chief Pilot, for the last 2 years and still flies a Boeing 757.
