The continued media frenzy over this issue is getting tedious as is every call from hack journalists/politicians demanding the CEO loses his bonus/ resigns/ is sacked. Things go wrong - that's life - what is important is the fall back procedures and safety. I stand to be corrected but as far as I can see no passenger or crew member was put at risk.


And remember the strike in Italy on Friday - more flights were cancelled or delayed because of that issue (looking at the various airlines websites) but not a murmur in the Press on that snag.


As I have said before, this incident was unfortunate/unacceptable, but if every time an aircraft had an avoidable incident necessitated a CEO resigning the revolving doors would be rotating that fast the crosswind at LHR would be out of limits!!!
