A dual departure by @VirginAtlantic & @British_Airways from the westerly runways at @HeathrowAirport this morning to mark the opening of the #USA to double vaccinated travellers. But why did one #aircraft go North (the long way) and the other go West? Thread… #Airport #WePilots
The simple answer is, that if both take off at the same time and go west towards @JFKairport, they will eventually get in each other’s way. So the aircraft (@VirginAtlantic) on 27L continued straight ahead on a CPT departure & the (@British_Airways) turned north on an UMLAT.
This also allows the #aircraft to both climb to the optimum cruising level and cross the #Atlantic Ocean almost side-by-side. The more northerly track will obviously add more miles and therefore time to the journey. Whilst it was never a race, the more direct routing always wins.

Is PM Scott Morrison a liar? It's a question that is being asked now on the international stage.

A Crikey investigation reveals the answer is, "yes", the PM is a systemic and unremitting public liar.

And we've got the proof:

Back in May, we published #ScoMosDossier – a list of lies and falsehoods delivered by the prime minister since he took office, on issues of national importance.

Since then, the list has grown.

Here's why we published the list:

Today we have 39 lies and falsehoods – and we'll be adding more later today because these lies just keep coming from Scott Morrison.

Here's his first lie about Australia's climate targets #climateaction #auspol #scottytheliar
