We managed just under 11 hours of 'Standby' responses from Ground before calling it a day, a lot of wasted time because no-one in the airport could make a decision to inform us the obvious news that we and many others were going nowhere
Some classic RT chatter though, brought a tear to my eye through the grimace of frustration my face was fixed in
. Particularly loved the French guy trying to get his TV presenter to Paris to interview the President, if you believed the responses there were at least 3 french presidents flying jets yesterday
Still, at least the pax cleared out the bar, the food and filled the toilet twice..........
Ready to go again at 0600z today, ready to put the nightmare of yesterday behind us and get on the road...........guess what the first response was from Ground after we were blessed by the gods in getting our permit sorted? "Airport Closed" Darn Russian President forced us to sit for an anxious 30 mins thinking we were in for another day of 'Standby'!
home now, Bless zzZZZZZzzzz
