Er....oh..yes ok thanks" he replied as most of the servisair stations in a 200 mile radius would have probably heard his side of the conversation
At my station we can hear aircraft calling EDI and we are in the south.
Anyhow I can remember when Hola airlines started flying. Their first flight was PMI-CWL-PMI-CWL-PMI. Anyhow they couldnt pay for their fuel so had to wait and hour or so for payment to reach AirBP. After the aircraft had pushed back and requested clearence, they found out that no flight plan had been flied for that flight. So it was another hour or so befoer they got on their way.
