No, this is about NOTHING BUT politics. Had this delay been the result of a drunk cricket team it would have barely raised an eyebrow. Had the delay been caused by union games during contract negotiations by belligerent pilots it would have been applauded. This debate here on PPRuNe has legs simply because it panders to the knuckle dragging regular joe in the street who hates immigration and wants to blame all of life ills on immigrants.
Well put
