On the face of it a very surprising manoeuvre, one has to wonder what the skipper was thinking of but not at all impressed with the standard and content (ie professionalism) of RT as published here - "one of your company a/c has performed a 180 and really screwed things up" is surely a complete no-no? Very poor form regardless of the provocation.
And whats all this about a runway inspection? Was one due anyway or is there a connection with the incident? That's not at all clear.
Yep, the thought police have binned this tread to where no one will ever find it. I so love this spineless cowering pprune these days. not. Does Ryanair have some control over this forum or something? Are they part-owners perhaps - because they're acting like it.
edit. No, just managed to make the taxi chart link above work. An utterly inexplicable manoeuvre. Totally baffling.
And just for the record, a well reported incident from the DM!!!
