Dear Britannia Captain...
were you the 757 captain who, two weeks ago, was horrified to hear we had closed the main runway at Gatwick four minutes late to let two aircraft in on 26L before switching to 26R ?
The same indignant Captain who thought I was delaying him so much he should send the fuel bill to me ?
If we hadn't kept the main runway open that extra four minutes, those last two aircraft wouldn't have landed and therefore held (in front of you) for the northern runway.
You'd then have become number 3 and with a spacing requirement equating to 5 mins you'd have held an extra 10 minutes.
By my maths I saved you 6 mins fuel.
Cheque please ?
