This mornings Heathrow flight was canx BA 1301 due to depart at 06.30am.
The reason:
One of the pilots opened an over wing exit (not realising it was armed) to have a feel of the wing to see if it needed de-iced.
A bit of a bad move in my opinion.
I'm not sure if this is a standard procedure
The aircraft finally left for heathrow at 09.30 empty. (not allowed to carry pax with a shoot blown).
It was an A319.
Someone will get a smacked wrist.
Stu...
