Unfortunately, throwing a sickie is all too common with some of LTN's handling agents and the rapid turn-over of staff reflects this!
Christmas day working at LTN is a recent thing for many staff so I have some sympathy for those who joined before the Wizz invasion!
Plenty of sympathy yes, but it is now a major airport in this country and should come to be expected.
LHR will be very busy tomorrow; clearly not as busy as normal ops, but still many flights many of which to destinations where they very much celebrate Christmas tomorrow - it's a cheaper day to fly. There will be many no doubt heading to JNB for the first test match on Boxing Day as an example.
