Us get a pat on the back from anyone higher up than Watch Manager?
Ummmmmmmmm.
Hang on.
It's coming..............
Nope, I give up.
I take your point.
Gonzo.
PS And related...when was the last time you saw a remote holder push back, and an inbound a/c park on its gate? If we're doing this to free up stands, then there must be something I'm missing. Surely it can't all be to allow BA to claim an on-time departure? No, can't be. That's just too cynical! Thinking about it, the only time I've seen cases of remote holders freeing up stands for inbounds are the two early Midlands parked on 130 and 125 who invariably block the South African 747s.
