Astonishingly, according to Mr Reid, instead of making an emergency landing,
Sorry but two hours into a sector from VHHH to VTBS, wouldn't the nearest suitable (if not nearest available for an A380)
be VTBS?
On what basis did the pair have
to cut short their $6,800 trip
?
Maybe I'm making some assumptions here here but I would assume that if there was an emergency that the belt-up signs would be illuminated. So how did Mr Reid manage to get the photo, if not by disobeying a reasonable direction from the crew?
So glad Mr Reid's 18 year old son has such a sense of civic duty that he reported the incident to the AAIB. We can also sleep more safely now. Phew.
