You think that's bad? I once flew to Turkey from Humberside with Onur Air. It was during a fuel shortage (2000?) and we had to fly to manchester first to refuel. They didn't bother giving the safety demo just to 'pop' to manchester, the turkish stewardesses handed round paper cups and poured water in from big bottles, the captain was just separated by a curtain and while it was being refuelled he was sat smoking in the cockpit! In fact unbelievably you could smoke in one half of the plane!
I've been standing over oil wells in Russia with guys smoking and throwing the tabbies into the well......
Emmmm, have they ever heard or Red Adair?
