Thank you Johnny F@rt Pants for putting some perspective on this Christmas's airport non-story. Love the username by the way. With a name like that I'm slightly surprised you couldn't de-ice your 737-800 yourself using the..
ahem..."reverse cycle rear mounted afterburner method"
Come to think of it, this non-incident occurred on Boxing Day. So all those moaning and tweeting passengers would presumably have been stuffed to the gills with turkey, brussels sprouts and Xmas pud. Just imagine if the handling agents could have somehow harnessed all that pent up energy - they could have got the planes moving in no time at all !!
And with every wife and mother in the UK currently currying anything that even vaguely resembles turkey and veg left overs, the "benefits" could last for days
Happy New Year all
