When MAN has is 75+ based aircraft on the ground plus an A340-600 and an A340-500
which limits large stands doesn`t really leave much space especially
for large aircraft and in no way can they afford to have 5 or so non sched
long haul visits not being able to depart because crew are out of hours
and the numerous long hauls which arrive between 05.00 and 10.00
tomorrow. I fail to see what the problem is, if they were an emergency
they would be accepted, but I remember the huge rows that erupted
when they got too full back in 70s/80s and the poor ground crews took
the flack.
