Good Morning children.....
Time to put my tuppence worth in!
Standard,eastern was in work yesterday and is again this morning but was too busy being a social butterfly and showing fellow, obviously down trodden, NATS colleagues from the valleys how to have some fun in Belfast.....
Alot has been said about people wanting to fly to Heathrow from BHD, sure just look at the loads! But I'd like to point out that WE DON'T HAVE A CHOICE! Has anyone seen the times out of BFS, they're next to useless....I know plently who prefer to use Muckamore International, my local MP for one
About Monday morning, I was there providing my best customer service to those who were flying around in circles for over an hour. The Midland skipper just didn't seem to want to know, once he had made his decision to divert, even when there was 1829m of braking action good available for him. I asked him was he sure before he left the hold and we were instructed by midland ops to tell him again when he was downwind......
Having returned from Heathrow myself last night, any truth to the rumour that a fellow passenger was telling anyone who would care to listen that the initial reason that the bd81 did not depart until 1000 yesterday morning was that the runway de-icing equipment broke down? And apparently the skipper of that flight was telling passengers they were waiting for the sun to come up and melt the ice on the runway!?!
Time to go and have some breakfast and obviously feel sorry for myself cause I work for NATS and life isn't worth living...........
