Pilot turns around
A British passenger plane was forced to turn back minutes before landing in Paris because the pilot of 30 years’ experience was not qualified to land in fog, an airline confirmed on Thursday.
Speaking over the address system as the Flybe flight approached Charles de Gaulle airport, the pilot announced to startled passengers “I am not qualified to land the plane” and turned back to Cardiff.
And what does he get for his heroic humility?
One passenger, 29-year-old Cassandra Grant, said she had missed a job interview in the French capital as a result.
