Re your post;
"Perhaps this is why MAN didn`t want divs
taken of BHX forum
From a Birmingham perspective the most damaging part of this article is the assertion that the passengers were told by the captain that they had to stay on board as Birmingham was overwhelmed by the number of diverted flights and immigration and customs could not cope. With the number of diverted flights totalling three this may or may not be true but for some of us who have suffered with lengthy waits at the hands of immigration at Birmingham it certainly has the ring of authenticity about it."
Naughty naughty lol
You fail to mention this was an written by the Daily Mail reporter.
The reality of this diverted flight was that BA could not decide on whether to splash and dash it or offload passengers, thats what caused the delay into the terminal, was listening to pilot-ops conversations on it on my scanner.Nothing at all to do with BHX or other diverted flights.
Apologies for putting this on the MAN thread but the record needed setting straight..don't believe everything printed in the Daily Mail
