Thanks for that - as I suspected. I guess I'll take an extra bit if fuel inbound for the forseeable future there.

As an aside (and with no criticism aimed the ATCO's, who are the best around), what are the management doing. We have a leading world facility undermanned. Maybe it is all part of the BAA tactics to justify a 3rd (sic) runway. The home base operators pick up a hefty fuel overhead just by operating in/out of LHR, not to mention that turnarounds have to be planned longer - and we pay mightily for this 'priviledge'. It's about time the resources were put into the infrastructure instead of being creamed off by the BAA and government.

Rant over - back to work.

Rcekon I've spent over 120hrs in the LAM hold in the last 14 years!
