Yes Nigel, BHX did very well to accept all those diversions. But what's the secret - where do they find all the staff to handle them?
It was reported elsewhere that MAN had originally said earlier in the day they would only accept 2 wide bodies and 1 narrow body, so we did ok to take 10. Our problem isn't just scarce staff resources but lack of remote stands at times like this, and MAN won't normally use contact stands or taxiways nowadays apparently. Not sure where we parked them all last night.
