As an outsider and one who has merely beein paxing into FAJS for 48 years.
The photo shows that there is no big 'turn left' sign and, we are told, fewer signs are illuminated at night at JNB. Really?? But then, this is Africa.
I can see two mgmts involved. the SA airports mgmt who have not plugged this whole (despite seeing ever more a/c from ever more countries bring their precious tourists that SA so desperately needs) .
Then I see a potential mgmt involved in the sending of numbers after the push. Sounds like a good way to save time? Hmmm.
Lastly, it has been stated that the F and WT+ pax did NOT disembark first. Due to the physical layout, the unloaded from the last row, down steps to busses.
This was a cheese and like all cheses, all the parts were known about in advance. And I'll bet that two lots of mgmt (SA and BA) will not have their careers blighted by this. besides, of those that took the decisions, most will already be retired. As always. THAT'S why i feel sympathy for the crew.
