squibbler,
Indeed I will wait for the first time that my announcement goes something like -
"welcome aboard....we have no ATC delay but the Tower are holding us anyway so we will not be departing for another hour"..............
.........followed 20 minutes later by "we have spoken to the Tower and have finally managed to arrange our departure at the original time".
Perhaps sir blue chip will give sir CAA a call on the satphone once airbourne!
Regards,
DFC
