Nonsense, EVERY opportunity to despise the French (AKA, Cheese-Eating Surrender Monkeys) should be exploited. By the way, who was the poor Freeper who made the "series" error?

Just the screen crawl, right now. They could have gone to Philly International. But, I think the flyboys wanted some practice. Nothing else but the alert from KYW in Philly.

I can't remember, it happened over the weekend, I think. I suspect he or she may lay low for awhile, the mistake got a real pounding on the original thread. But it has made for great fun, so the perp should go public now!

That could be... but if it as coming from Europe (I'm making a ssumption here, which I shouldn't do...) one would think JFK was closer to the flight path than Dover... even Gander may have been closer, but who knows...

Maybe they are practicing people skills they learned from the French.

Passengers removed.

Thank you for flying Air Portugal. We are now on a coffee break. Find your own way to your final destination, and don't let the door hit you in the * on the way out.
