Irrespective of how the fare was paid, did Mrs. Oxfam expect that she, a 'Premium' Economy pax.should disembark before 'ordinary' Economy pax? If so why is she complaining that F/C pax.were disembarked before her ? She would probably have had her head down on her 'phone anyway, holding people up. There was no immediate emergency, apparently, so what was her rush ?

I was once co-pilot on a 707 at JFK ( New York ) when the skipper took the wrong taxiway, no problem, he said, keep your feet on the floor and DON'T touch the brakes, and he promptly put two engines into reverse and did a three point turn ! Neat.
