crustydemon,
its obvious you know nothing of the inexperience of many of those now operating for qfuk.
Especially those running the cabins.
No captain that I know of is going to land an aircraft [fuel permitting] with a cabin that is unsafe to do so.
Your assumptions about the time needed to clear a cabin and prepare for landing indicate that you have never worked in one.
Miss your slot into LHR at 6am and you'll be dizzy doing circles north of LHR.
30+ minutes of holding is not unusual.

The "spin" is so much that its all I can do just to stand up.
