1. CVT has had flooding problems recently. Don't know if this is still the case.
2. 757 has 8 brakes and a VREF of @130 kts. 738 has 4 brakes and VREF (don't know but told) of @150 kts. LBA was a similar case re 757 -v- 738.
3. Apparently most pax were going to Doncater so having made a decision to divert, Doncaster would seem logical. Why inconvenience 2 sets of pax?
4. Of course, no other airline has any commercial thinking influencing their choice of alternates does it?
5. The crew on the day were there. I wasn't. Anyone else?
6. Any example of TFly doing anything at CVT will displace world genocide in Midlands local papers. And amongst certain sections of the Pprune community.
