The US Navy also feeds sacrifices to their aircraft:

OUCH!  That's gonna leave a mark....

s/b Delta. duh.

After Delta's 2 crashes several years ago, the local DFW joke was that Delta was an acronym for Doesn't Even Leave The Airport.

You’re quite welcome. How could I *not* ping them?

I just resuscitated my 42-year-old TR4 after being stored for 22 years. Where would you buy the goats? (pencil poised and ready...)

For British cars, one needs to sacrifice a stoat, not a goat.

Everybody had their chance to sacrifice me when I posted this story yesterday, but there were no takers   :-)

You’re not gonna weasel out that easy. We’ll keep badgering you, as we otter, until we ferret out how to get your goat.

Man, them goats is easy. Just flash ‘em a fancy parasol, and they roll right over. You train ‘em like that?

Perhaps the goat sacrifice ritual should be made their SOP for fixing technical glitches.

By the way, I was one of the several hundred HongKong-bound passengers stranded in Kathmandu due to their technical glitch. If only they had thought to make the goat sacrifice earlier, I would not have re-routed on another airline.

NEVER FLY NEPAL AIRLINES.

I'm delighted that you (eventually) got to where you're going.  :-)

NEVER FLY NEPAL AIRLINES.

I don't think there's any worry over that every happening, at least for me.
