OFF Schedule

25 Dec The flight we are due to operate diverts due fog at Delhi airport, we remain in hotel with Xmas lunch provided by BOAC Catering. We are now OFF-SCHEDULE
26 Dec We are told to operate BA812 to HKG. The crew who should have taken that flight are not best pleased as they now have to stay in Delhi OFF-SCHEDULE


I was rejected by Hamble, and that's why I spent all my life in corporate aviation. I was considered unsuitable to be a BOAC Pilot....

Why would being OFF the schedule in India be a hardship, I assume Per Diems were still paid, but perhaps not sector or flight pay.....If I remember correctly, there were many increments added to basic pay and expenses.
