At 07:00 (L) this morning Heathrow had 10 minutes holding delay. In the interests of least overall disruption to the system we occasionally "adjust" the landing order (for all airlines) where one or two places will make the difference but a 10 minute jump of the queue is out of the question without declaring Pan.


In view of 'Daysleeper's' "pink" regarding 20 minutes for LL/KK, I believe he should have advised ATC as soon as he knew he wouldn't have that on arrival (which was probably quite a long way back).
Point 4
