Thanks for entering the lion's den RD. It was my team on last night so I'll find out who it was and pass the message on for you.
Edinburgh had major problems due to unavailable taxiways I understand (breaking up due to the inclement weather ?). The River Almond was also extremely close to flooding the 24 threshold end (around a 1 foot rise in the river level was all it was going to take). So patience in the situation was appreciated.
I'll have a listen to our Birdseed friend this week to see if there's any lessons to be learnt !! If it had been me on the sector, I might just have been able to resist a JetBlast like comment to him, but maybe not !!
