Ha ha not at all, I fly with whatever airline suits my requirements as a paying passenger....some folk need reminded that the airlines and airports exist to satisfy the needs of the paying traveller, not the other way round...so yes I would be raging if I was going round in circles when there is no need. If the equipment is life expired and maintenance and spares are no longer available then it should have been replaced before it failed...which is what u do with any asset that you maintain...the extra costs involved to keep all these planes and customers doing donuts in the air is ridiculous....and I would say Heathrow is a completely different scenario than the quiet little airport in Belfast harbour
