It’s what happens when the airlines and the airports let go of so much staff they now can’t cope with demand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The uncivil service run this island; the 'ministers' are powerless to affect policy that doesn't agree with the CS groupthink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amadeus Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Stuck on the tarmac for 45 minutes now because of ATC break. Pilot sounded perplexed. Whole plane load of angry passengers. Loads of missed connections as the flight was already delayed due to a medical incident that saw the fire trucks come out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asitis Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Any minor problem grows exponentially as the day progresses and the closures then come into play, despite everyone being aware of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swoopy2110 Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 The pathetic airport website still shows - DELAYED 10.35. Even though it's now 11.44. Also, this is a great example of how the late flight gets delayed when the plane gets delayed earlier in the day elsewhere. The A/C schedule is now up the shoot. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellanvannin2010 Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 I wonder why they are so reluctant to name the person or persons responsible for the lack of succession planning in ATC?. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because under CS protocols, public naming and shaming is not PC. They are a protected species in that respect, the culture approach is to look forward at all times, not back, and it didn't happen. At best they'll be moved or retired, that's if they haven't already departed. And if there's any expense, the taxpayers will cover it. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanesra Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Mrs Lanesra and I have a friend visiting from SE England at the moment. She was supposed to arrive from LGW last Monday evening, but her flight was cancelled, so she arrived on Tuesday. She was also supposed to fly home via LGW on Saturday evening, but her flight and last night's flight were both cancelled. We're hoping that tonight's flight to LGW departs, but it's awful that we can't rely on easyJet to get her home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So airport to blame for medical issues now and what idiot has a connection that they’re going to miss for 90 minutes delay? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair the connection time for easyjet connects is 90 min which is 3 times BA via LCY 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
