Came into Gatwick on an easyJet A319 on Sunday, a year to the day of going round twice at City on a BA RJ100, when we went around on short finals. No drama really until one of the Cabin Crew immediately came on the tannoy as the flaps were still retracting in to try and calm the (non existent) panic by telling us that the Captain had "decided not to land" for "operational reasons". His tone suggested he thought we were going to hit the ground like a dart made of bricks at any moment! NOW it was at this point the passengers got nervous!

Later when we were downwind, the laid back and dulcet tones of the Captain as he explained the aircraft departing ahead had undergone a rejected take off was a country mile from the STRESS levels in the poor cc's voice! You've either got the patter or you haven't.

Not helping love...really!
