It's amazing to see how people are blaming one airline for a power outage that essentially closed the airport they use.
Then this vilified airline's staff gave up Christmas to try to get everybody to their destinations.
Wow.
This vilified staff includes an eJ captain friend of mine who gave up Christmas with his parents, wife and two small children to do this. He got home at 5 a.m. Dec. 26 after finally making his OWN way home after getting a flight down on the ground somewhere in Europe that had earlier been stranded in the UK. He then had to try to hitch flights home to The North where he lives--to get back from Europe where he then found HIMSELF stranded as that was his last flight of the day in that chaotic schedule.
Aside from that their large hub Gatwick had NO electricity for a long while. What were they to do at eJ? I'm baffled by this vitriol
