For those who would "just quietly pop it in the bin" ,I hope none of you are ever on any of my flights!
ALL THREATS must be assessed by the operating crew and dealt with accordingly !
We are all aware how accurate the British press can be in these circumstances and I wouldn't be surprised if there is more to this story than is currently reported.
Now put yourself in the situation,
Found note in toilet on transatlantic flight,
"Popped note in bin"
2 hours later while over the Atlantic , toilet smoke alarm goes off,
Feeling stupid yet ?
