Er....it’s Stobart doing the flying, if anyone is going to do any dumping it’s BE. Though, as I’ve said before, it’s a bit of a mess because the E195s were BE aircraft.
I did find their ops decisions a bit odd....no idea why MAN couldn’t have operated on time. It could have gone to MAN and back and the GLA flight still wouldn’t have gone out much later than it did, or it could have been sent to Groningen on its return this avoiding cancellation with the EIR replacement flown in from Cork doing GLA. They must have had the crew around to do that.
On the positive side GLA must have had a good load fit there to be 30 or so left behind.
