Check this out...Ridiculous

I read a news on the web about a pilot with more than 30 years experience has been forced to turn his plane around - because he was not qualified to land in fog. o.m.g

The flight on the 8.45am Flybe Airways to Paris were just minutes away from landing at their destination when they were told they would have to go all the way back to Cardiff.

One of the passenger on the flight heard about the announcement from the pilot said that twenty minutes outside Paris, the captain said, Unfortunately I'm not qualified to land the plane in Paris...They are asking for a level two qualification and I only have a level five...

We'll have to fly back. The dense fog covering Charles de Gaulle's airport had not been there when the flight took off, she added.The plane was already three hours late due to bad weather in Wales and the pilot's situation is "quite unusual but probably not unheard of," according to the Civil Aviation Authority.

god...those who were onboard the flight must be unlucky i guess? haha...
