Raw Data,You should go back to basics like your name sake.
Rule numero 1."The passenger is always right".
I dont take kindly to your comments on the state of our Company with regards to the numbers of job loses as this affects alot of us personally those sort of comments you should keep to yourself.
You seem to have the desire to kick people when they are down
As for the loads on our LHR route the aircraft was to be an A320 but Im sure you will see for yourself that some of the rotations have had to be change to an A321 due to demand,oh and thats 196 seats at 35,000 feet in the clear blue skies compared to 50 on a 56 seater aircraft at 19,000 in the crap.
As for holding,Worst case ie about once a week we would hold for 20 mins,but this is accounted for in the time table.
Just accept it,there is plenty of room for all of us.
