BMI LHR problem?
Yesterday a BMI Baby A320 - BD164 - Palma - landed 20 minutes ahead of schedule and my other half was on board. Some hours later we were re-united. The delay was caused, apparently, BMI provided scant information, by a problem with the Baggage unloader colliding with the aircraft. They said it was with the actual cargo/baggage door. If so, did that upset the ongoing schedules and I wonder how much it will cost to repair [if actually damaged].
The excuse for the 2.5 hour delay was that the Police? had to examine the accident, according to BMI, because the drivers Human Rights might be compromised in the event of him being fired!!!!
Am I going mad or has Political Correctness reached new Lows? Or was that an Instant Urban Myth?
Does much damage occur to BigJets in the 'on ground' phase?
