I found myself on a flight on 4th December, which was heading straight into Storm Desmond. I didn't fly,
Did you then check after whether there was any issues on the flight you should have taken? I bet there weren't apart from maybe routine delays/a bit of turbulence to take the boredom out of it.
Take it from me, and many others, we wouldn't take you up there if it wasn't within the strict limits that we have to operate within, after all my ass is strapped to that aeroplane too and I want to come home to my family at the end of the day.
If you can't face it then fair enough, but why don't you just take the ferry then, that would be far more dangerous!
