Heard this on the waves at a German Airport a while ago.
-BA pilot calls up ready to push
- ATC negative sorry youve got a 20 min delay
Straight after
- Lufthansa pilot a couple a stands away called up ready to push
- ATC cleared him for push and start straight away
- BA pilot why was he cleared for immediate start and push when weve got a 20 min delay
- Lufthansa pilot thats coz we gotup at 5oclock to put our towels on the runway
