Preparing for incoming ....
As I type this I'm strapping on my tin helmet and hiding under the stairs cupboard in anticipation of the flak I'll get .... but .... I'm genuinely interested about this "not being ready on reaching the threshold" bit. I've only been flying with BA for 4 months so don't have reams of data going back years but in four months I haven't had one occasion of not being ready when reaching the threshold. No dispatchers etc etc ahhh, that's a different story! Can anyone truely in the know please confirm or deny? (an ATCO perhaps) ... because if it is true that most BA flights are not ready on reaching and I have NEVER experienced that then I must be truely blessed and am off to put my lottery numbers on before my good luck runs out...
