Not. Sinai is a dangerous place.

TWR, that's a different area entirely -- although I agree. Not very nice.

I repeat, "Seems flying is less safe than it once was", and the Government agree.

Only flights to and from the UK are suspended
Flights to and from Moscow for example, still operating normally
Which one might consider a little odd ...

[TWR]

It depends on what part of the world we fly into AOG

TWR - steady now, breathe...aand....think: there are always at least two sides, be it in a family row or global strife. If we allow ourselves to pretend - just for a moment maybe - that them over on the Other Side have at least a kind of a case, then everyone can start to work towards not laying about indiscriminately with weapons of awful consequence.
Wipe em all out will only lead to - wipe em all out back again.

I understand & agree Mosiac but these Scum are Frightening people, hurting the Tourist Industry, putting peoples lives at risk, people leaving their place of birth, going to lands they do not know, surly after seeing TV Reports of these murderers the can pin point the scum & get rid, I think after this attack on Russia & the loss of life, Putin will not give it a 2nd thought.

The Russians were free of human rights considerations, but lost, when they tried to deal with the Afghans. Even with the gloves off could they do any better in Syria?
