Flew on them lots as a kid. On my first flight the seat next to me had no back to it and it took ages to get going because the pilots were haggling with the fuel guys….
Also all the wrecks on the side of the runway apparently weren’t wrecks… just donor aircraft.
And most of the other passengers seemed to always be in a ‘jolly’ mood….. like really hammered…
I’m sure they are OK these days though.
