Ryanair incident at Stanstead?

Flights were probably held if for 3 hours while they sourced and prepared 2 replacements.

Piltdown

You will probably find everyone in the UK use a 2 man (or more) pushback crew. At the end of the day, the headset man is the eyes and ears for the PIC,and to relay information. Regardless of ATC clearance, you survey the area behind the ac before releasing the brakes, and stand by until it is clear to push.the trouble with he FR operation at STN is it isn't clearly visible from the tower, and would rely on SMR and the ground crew doing their job unfortunately
