A good point, luoto ...

What we are getting on the mainstream Media [ie BBC etc.] are simple figures on cancelled flights that could be generated by an 18-yo researcher with a PC. There is no "in-depth" reporting at all, or any attempt to intelligently filter out weather and normal operating issues from those specifically related to T5.

Here we are getting very little of substance, which is VERY disappointing given the size and spread of the PPRuNe knowledge-base.

Which really makes me wonder .... is this actually one big non-story now?


BTW, jolini, some people have virtually no choice but to use LHR and/or BA by virtue of destinations, schedules and other factors.

And, dysag ... I don't want to have to fly from LHR via EHAM or CDG to get where I'm going, and I can't get direct to EHAM anyway.
