Another 10 mins pass and the captain says we will be shortly on our way although this behaviour from the ATC and ground staff was one of the reasons why Easyjet will NOT be expanding from EDI.
As has already been pointed out to you, how this could have anything to do with ATC or the ground staff is beyond me???
EZY continue to expand from EDI with CDG just started this week, and GDN and KRK starting at the end of October, plus rumours of a 5th aircraft are circulating. Not sure what makes you think they are going to stop just because of a bit of ramp congestion, which can happen at any of the airports they fly to. Think LGW!
