"Apparently the crew were informed"
Nothing like telling the Chinese (I am making the assumption the crew were Chinese) they have made a mistake for the loss of face syndrome to kick in. Please dont brand me with the racist tag - my wife is Chinese. If I make the same "mistake" with her the handbag - and the "rule book" - go out the window!
However....the rules of engagement for matrimonial strife and the safe flying of commercial jets with trusting PAX onboard should never get mixed up!
Presumably they will have to make a report of this incident but will it ever get publicised? It would be very interesting to know how they managed to "abort" the rotation.
