Poor form I reckon, to be a passenger, and then complain about the inconvenience to one aircraft without KNOWING what imperatives the other side had to deal with.
Absolutely! There may have been another plane behind Dick and his friend, so a reduction may not have worked. Maybe if the pilot offered a speed reduction, he may have got a straight in approach. We all don't know because we weren't there, we can't see the bigger picture as it was on the day, and only have one side of the story. A 14 mile dogleg in a Sovereign is pretty low key in the big scheme of things. Traveling at 800Km/h - that's what - a 2 minute detour?
Why don't you people get some proper leadership?
Gee, the term 'you people' really grinds my gears. It just reeks of elitism.
