"Bravo to this pilot, not letting security theatre get between him and the safety of his passengers!"
Apologies if I'm being thick here but I don't understand this post..
Are you saying the passengers were in danger if they remained on board?
I mean there are emergency vehicles in attendance and the pilot is given an alternative, (and possibly less compromising to the operation), means of communication and he refuses??
Sorry guys - not with the majority of you on this one.
Yeah,yeah SLF etc.. whatever.
