Well somebody stole my plane...... I had it when I landed but now it's gone. That will teach me not to leave the keys in it.

Being serious though, it's not very nice to log on and find there are no free aircraft to fly the next leg because somebody else locked the one you have flown all the way down from Lisbon!

I guess that's me out of the Rally. See you at the finish line!

EHM-1358 Tim · « **Reply #10 on:** January 07, 2006, 04:32:54 pm »

Phil, what was the reg? Maybe Bruno could get it back for you.

EHM-1617 Iain · « **Reply #11 on:** January 07, 2006, 04:52:00 pm »

There has been a bit of a mix-up with the A/C at GQPA...

Me and Jay have swopped - and Phil seems to be down one (sorry to hear that).

EHM-1358 Tim · « **Reply #12 on:** January 07, 2006, 05:03:43 pm »

Me and Iain, the new detectives, have kind of sussed out the problem.
Sorry to name and shame, but its the only way.

Desmond Klein (0502) made the flight, and landed, he filed out his PIREP. After that the aircraft went into a crashed status, but not on the crashed plane list, this happened to me. Now Desmond, didn't contact the staff about the problem, and took Phil's plane, ignoring the rules, when he could of got the plane back into service.

But, if the plane can easily be put back into the active list, and Phil can carry on with the trip. The plane you need to put back is CS-EDB.

Something is not right there Ian because when I lock in my flight I triple check that I take the right one mine is 494 with tail EDF and I locked that one in but now it shows different.. I do not know how come, maybe a database error ? I will take my 494 next leg as well ok ?

EHM-1617 Iain · « **Reply #14 on:** January 07, 2006, 09:54:44 pm »

OK, we can swap back

Can I have CS-EIF back please

EHM-0502 Desmond · « **Reply #15 on:** January 07, 2006, 09:56:23 pm »

I posted a message in the propilot forum about this, but no one has looked at it. I did see that someone had crashed on that leg, and assumed that the system had removed the wrong plane.

When I logged on today I noticed there was still 1 plane availbale, and so took it. I assumed it was the one that had actually crashed.

Yes, you can, can I have CS-EDF please then

Maybe it was my mistake I dunno, I triple check though but I was rather tired when I booked and flew so it could have been me being mistaken.

EHM-1703 Philip · « **Reply #17 on:** January 07, 2006, 11:43:51 pm »

All I know is, I am stranded in GPQA with no plane and no way to carry on with event. :$

Thanks for the kind comments guys, I appreciate it

EHM-0948 Bruno · « **Reply #20 on:** January 08, 2006, 02:54:14 pm »

Hi,

As I said:

1. Please LOCK your airplane again as soon as you finish the leg.

2. No one is permited to grab another one's airplane. It's not fair.

So, I deleted the Desmond Klein's flight because that airplane belongs to Phil.

Sorry Desmond but if you have any problems with your old airplane, just tell me ok ?

Phil, please continue your trip.

Regards,
BF

EHM-1703 Philip · « **Reply #21 on:** January 08, 2006, 07:01:17 pm »

Thanks Bruno,

Forgive me for being a bit dumb, but can we lock the plane as soon as the flight is done? If I try and lock the flight, I can't because the next leg is not available on the server yet?

Once again, many thanks for sorting that out.

Regards

EHM-1358 Tim · « **Reply #22 on:** January 08, 2006, 08:22:43 pm »

Ah man, Bruno, thats kind of harsh on Des, did he get the plane back to carry on with the event?
