Today was another beauty to resurrect this thread from last month.
Saw around 15 missed approaches. For about a two hour period only one successful one (not counting a VFR - but thats another story).
What I did not get, and perhaps someone from the local 737 operator that doesnt have a kangaroo can answer, is why after a couple of misses and diverting to BN, you then refuel and go straight back down there 50NM to miss out again!? Then rejoin the fray trying to get back in to BN? Now I assuming with the same passengers ex- SY / ML / AD - if so it just didn't seem to make much operational or financial sense to me when a phone call or even monitoring the frequency would say the best (and cheapest) place is on the ground.
Or do I have it wrong and they were repositioning to try and get back on shed?
Don't get me wrong - it makes great TV (the green one), and lots of fun from our end, but it is kind of mysterious in it's logic!
