Shed's well argued point was that the blanket ban on all diversions for 24 hour periods should be more flexible dependant on the situation on the ground. If there is the space and resources available for some types of aircraft why not take them rather than one size fits all - the blunt instrument as he described it?
Seems that
"managment team making decisions about whether or not to accept non-emergency diversions will be constatntly assessing the ability of the various handling agencies to cope with diverted flights
" would be a change from this blunt instrument example quoted by Shed and would result in a more flexible policy; a win-win for everyone. And this is the way it used to be at MAN a few years ago, so nothing new.
Maybe things have changed already today as Libyan has sent in an extra A320 which was the LHR flight?
Anyway well done to everyone for keeping the operation going in difficult circumstances
