Not sure what your point is (again).
Armed Police were most certainly present as the Stansted zoo was emptied last night. BA had a really bad day but were sending heavies out til the early hours to get people away. Ryanair didn’t try. Cheaper to refund than run the risk of hotel accomodation on a diversion. Given the huge swathe of cancellations earlier as FR ran out of pilots and the short notice cancellation of all domestic flying, perhaps they genuinely aren’t able to mount a non standard operation.
Why do you keep bringing BA into this? How many passengers were affected by the cancellation of the days FR flying? 189 seats both ways in 2-3 waves times how many based aircraft?
If you’re doing “my airport/airline is better than yours” I don’t really care as I freely admit BA are a calamity on a bad day, I don’t work for them, and even though LHR is now my local I use STN on price when I can with few complaints.
