With ref to the original topic of this post, and having worked in ops it is often the case that you are damned if you do and damned if you don't! You cannot keep people waiting indefinately and often the job calls for calculated decisions based on probabilities. Passengers, crew and ground staff prefer a firm decision as soon as possible and you cannot legislate for Jersey's notorious eratic weather. Hopefully the comment "FlyBe should sack their ops guy " from someone that does a different job and does not have all of the facts was as claimed, very much tongue in cheek.
