Thinking?
I am trying to get my head around the thinking of the EZY flight from EDI to BRS yesterday evening. There were very strong winds forecast for BRS till about 2100 and the flight was due to land at 1845. In the event it came south, did not try an approach, diverted to BHX and passengers put on coaches to BRS, including my grandson, hence the post. The empty aircraft then positioned to BRS when the wind had died down, landing 20 minutes before the coaches arrived from BHX. My questions. Why did they not sit on the ground at EDI for the wind to die down? Why, having come south did he not make an approach? He v(or she) may have been lucky. Why, having diverted to BHX did he not keep the pax on board and fly them to BRS. I am not criticising, merely trying to understand the thought processes.
