Ah yes, The Crimson East Route.. Frobisher Bay, CYFB, indeed! Good airport and pleasant staff. My previous posts were restricting my responses and expertise to the western half of The Dominion..
Re the BA A380 diversion, curious why only cabin staff were shuffled off to A&E (Emergency)..the mystery deepens.
Re Paine Field/Everett Washington (KPAE): I get the satire and irony. The airport control tower (and other ops) closes after 21:00 hrs local. Passenger facilities and Customs would have been severely taxed.. But yes, it would have been ironic to have the A380 land at Boeing's home turf.
