Thank you ORAC merely confirms what a TAM captain was saying to me as I left...having sat at the dentists for about eight hours. Not that I was not very grateful to have been able to get out you understand Broadreach.
Hope the pilots got out, they had just had ten straight days of rain in Rio prior to some sunshine for the last couple over the weekend so a bit gloomy weather wise on top of what they have already been going through.
