It's all good and well arguing about how damaging this is to the engines but personally I'm not convinced.
Could it be that NATS closed the airspace because of fear of any claims against them if they did keep it open in case an incident did occur?
The fact is, I'm at home losing money. No flying- no nothing. What about all my colleagues who are stuck somewhere and can't go back.
It's a frustrating thought that this was all because of a legality...
Am I being selfish?
Any comments guys?
