Personally, when people use my stuff, I'm happy with just a link. If you're not sure then you should include a link and the name of the photographer. You rectified your mistake by posting the link. They're not my pictures however, so I can't tell you to do anything if you don't want to. Your...

Because any bell end who knows how to use the print screen function can get around it. Airliners.net like flickr (when restricted) doesn't give you access to the original res.

So in addition to being a thief, you're a j e r k too.

Fair use under US and EU copyright laws requires a reference to the original work. In other words, a link to the pic. The fact that airliners.net has a small banner with the photographer's name isn't enough. I have photographer accounts with jetphoto and flickr where I make sales. If the pic...

If you're going to use someone's work, you could at the very least do the decent thing and give them credit. Thief.

As touched on by others, ncos are already flying rotary aircraft in the US, UK and elsewhere. I would argue that handling rotary aircraft, with the cyclic, performance limitations, low level flying and everything else that comes with it is more challenging than fixed wing. Furthermore, as the...

The truth of the matter is, outside of the trunk routes serving Karachi, there is no money to be made by airlines domestically in Pakistan. That is why the airlines which have a free reign over the routes they serve, Shaheen and Airblue, deploy most of their capacity (seats) on International...

It's a bit rich of you to go off on a tangent with others when your own aviation knowledge is very superficial. Airlines are businesses. Doesn't matter whether they are in the ME or US. The purpose of a business is to make a profit. The greater the profit margin, the more successful the...

Secret missions. I worked as a network manager at British Airways. I know how much payload an A320 can carry and how to calculate it. The information is publicly available for you to do the same. Payload is calculated by subtracting operating empty weight from max zero fuel weight. I've done...

You have issues with reading comprehension. One route no. But when all your regional prop routes AND 20+ international destinations are losing money, yes you lose money, a lot of it. Especially when you have a weak currency like Pakistan and your costs (as is the norm for aviation) are in...

Wrong on two of those points. An A320 is both cheaper to buy and dry lease or wet lease. Typical A320 airline empty weight 42.5t. Max zero fuel weight 62.5t which gives a max payload around 20t. 737-800 empty weight 42t , mzfw 62.7 with max payload a little over 20t. How on earth is the...

In which case the Afghan gov should do what the Pak gov does when the UK deports Pakistani illegals, refuse them entry!

It's for sure that Pakistani Brits aren't loyal to the UK. Further given that they contribute the least amongst all ethnicities in the UK, we should repatriate them to Pakistan. See. Ignorance and racism works both ways.

Shocking to see how much ignorance is displayed by what I'm assuming, are Pakistani Muslims. This slaughter is not acceptable and DOES NOT fall under the category of Sadaqa. This backward practice of slaughtering a black animal is to ward off evil and bad luck. That makes it both an act of...

This point alone tells me you know little of the aviation industry. Pratt and Whitney is the largest turboprop supplier in the world and their engine lineup from PT-6 to the largest PW150 have a reputation for robustness and reliability. Aircraft families like the atr 42/72 wouldn't be best...
