So do you think MAN are just being difficult? Do you not accept there is probably good reason not to accept diverts? And if you don't, what qualifies you to make that call?
Would you not accept that MAN, regardless of what other airfields are doing, is simply making decisions based on MAN and to protect the MAN operation? It's also worthwhile mentioning that MAN too was suffering its own disruption and whilst this may have meant reduced movements on the airfield, the handling agents were probably maxed out in the terminal.
