I was in Lon rescently and CC called my Rm phone & mobile in the middle of the night. I listened to the msg.
It said ' Call us back immediately we have an urgent msg for you'
I immediately hung up the phone & called my wife to see if she was ok.
(Yes- she's was fine. The buggers were playing tricks told her not to talk to CC nor did i phone back)
Nxt moring (After tossing & turning trying to get back to sleep.
hating being woken up) at pickup was glad to see all crew there.
They had all experienced the same call - CX begging them to call back.
The SO had answered his mobile not knowing how its was. After listening about a shortage on a B744F crew in Malan italy to India. He told them they'd being drinking & so had he and said good bye.
The other two pilots also told them to shove it!
