2) BA have no presence in MAN anymore. Therefore the 'Manager' who was dispatched would have been LHR based. Earliest flight LHR-MAN is 0635hrs, (if on-time). Manager would not be at hotel until at least 0900hrs. Cannot dismiss idea that Manager may live closer to MAN than LHR but would have to be contacted and briefed and then make own way.
Not quite accurate.
BA have closed the base but about half a dozen "Terminal Managers"
remain plus a bunch of chaps (40 or so) who keep the flying machine thingies airworthy.
