| 1416665 | 2016-02-28 19:37:00 | Can't they get it right? This is not an image of a A380 6989 And if that is the first class area, I'd rather be inside the cabin, thanks but no thanks This is not train spotting, rather it's a rant that the Herald just can't seem to get much right these days. :mad: PS: 6990 I give up :( |

| 1416666 | 2016-02-28 19:54:00 | Of more concern is their article using a stock photo of an old PC running Windows 2000... | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 1416667 | 2016-02-28 19:57:00 | Their Tech stuff was suck bollocks I gave up reading it some 3-4 years ago now, and just don't visit the site for anything. Stuff isn't much better but you're picking the best outta a bad bunch I find :P | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||

| 1416669 | 2016-02-28 20:54:00 | She says cabin crew are trained to deal with all kinds of situations. Fair enough, they are - their job does not end with serving meals and refreshments. But then we're told While in Auckland for the turnaround she would catch up with friends and family. I guess that qualifies as a unique situation, but hardly edifying information. But wait! There's more! "Hopefully there will be a beach involved with maybe some fish and chips or a mince pie." Not the image one associates with an Emirates A380 and trolley dolly. Herald, this was your lead story today - incorrect information, incorrect supporting images, and waffle. A disservice to the Airline, the employee - and your readers. The lead story in our national newspaper :groan: |

| 1416671 | 2016-02-28 21:41:00 | This is not train spotting, rather it's a rant that the Herald just can't seem to get much right these days. :mad: Actually, it is train spotting. Only aircraft 'train spotter' types would know the difference or even care . 99.9% of the general public, see it just as another plane . They dont care . I have an aviation interest (not obsession) , but I wouldnt care & wouldnt have noticed unless pointed out to me. |

| 1416672 | 2016-02-28 21:51:00 | The click as they selected the aircraft picture sounded just like the click of selecting a 380 picture, so for image placement in news?papers today it is in line with "best practice". When it comes to filling up spaces that are as vacant as the management ethics bin, a picture (any stock picture) is worth a thousand words. If the words of the article are irrelevant, shouldn't the picture be confusing too? |

| 1416674 | 2016-02-29 00:03:00 | Picture says First Class area of the (plane). Really? Shows the outside of a plane...what, first class passengers get the outdoor option? Never mind newspapers, last on on TV1 they were going on about defibrillators and some guy....and saying they restart the heart. No they don't, they adjust the rhythm when it's not beating correctly.. But millions of people think they restart stopped hearts because of reporting and bad TV |
