You've got to love prune.

747 loses an engine. Crew elect to continue. Land safely. Castigated on prune.

A380 loses engine. Continues. Lands safely. Castigated on prune.

Now 747 collides with building, crew elect not to evacuate. All is well. castigated on prune.

One would imagine the safe outcome would show who was right. Apparently not.

I'll add my name to the list of people held up by BA at the holding point whilst they "wait for numbers". Especially annoying when they have been pushing for taxi ahead of other aircraft, causing all of us unfortunate enough to be stuck behind them to be delayed. Poor show. A touch of common sense, or airmanship as it can be known elsewhere would dictate to give way to everyone who actually is telling the truth when they say they're ready.
