"irrational hatred of a plane because of the french is just stupid."

No, no, I have a hatred of the french because of an irrational plane.

I have a friend who flies A320s. He once had both engine throttles retard to idle for no reason while on final approach in the weather.

They don't call it Scarebus for nothing.

"He once had both engine throttles retard to idle for no reason"

I have no idea what that means. But if "retard" is in there, it can't be good.
