Flight Deck recently announced such an approach as "APPARENTLY it's the best route", with just the faintest trace of sarcasm ...
I may have been on that same flight. I flew Cityjet the other morning, it was clear from the Captains welcome onboard greetings as he proceeded to explain the new route entry into the Ldn zone, you could sense his sarcasism. It's ridiculous. I was stuck so had no option but use City, I've shifted to broadly using Gatwick or Stansted (as last resort) with fast track security passes. The chaos at STN security is mental.
