Just had a text from my brother, Quote:- Just ejected a ******** who had been causing trouble. He started smoking and then set fire to his mates hair. Think he'd been drinking. Police got him off, we set off in about 20mins.
The cabin crew said code bravo as they turned back to Gatwick.

From Twitter a woman has posted the following:
Just had to make an emergency landing at Gatwick! Plane on fire! Oh, no, sorry, stupid stags burning stuff at the back of the plane. Drama!
When I questioned her on it, she replied:
Idiots burning hair! (?) at the back of the plane. Cabin crew thought the plane was on fire, captain, dumped the fuel. Police have arrested the guy, we're refuelling... Lots of fire engines!

Update. Aircraft met by fire engines, ( Due to emergency). Police everywhere at the moment, think his mates are being allowed to stay on.. New arrival at PMI 13:10 local.
At the moment the police are down the back off the A/C.
I would think bravo means a message to the crew, to make them aware of the kind of situation they are in.

Make the idiot concerned pay towards the huge cost of delay incurred by ZB for his behaviour and it might deter others from doing the same in the future. If he was that drunk why was he not denied boarding in the first place?

Don't know about Gatwick, but one is doing some flights out of Manchester.
Should have been on G-MONK on Saturday 19 May from man-pmi.
but they(Monarch) ferried it empty to Luton, to cover a delayed flight to Dalaman..
Sub charted a Thomson 757 for us, which then gave us a 165 Min. delay. Not to impressed.

Is it the case that these people are put on a black list and banned from all carriers for future travel?
Is it also the case that liquids and gels over 100ml (or equivelant) are barred from aircraft cabins but matches and/or lighters are allowed?!

Lets hope I didn't check any of them fools in on ZB532 this morning for MAN-PMI. Didn't see many stag groups really. Absolute disgrace what that passenger did and I hope Monarch make him pay for the delay.

Yes, if it's deliberate misbehaviour and/or vandalism, it would make sense for them to be billed. Adding everything up could easily go into the thousands...
Take it that they'll be up before the beak, in which case best say no more, it may be subjudice.

on board, unless the a/c was an A330, it would not have been able to dump fuel.

ZB533 from Palma to Manchester (G-MAJS) was diverted to Liverpool. Anyone know why? I am due to fly on A300 to Sharm tomorrow morning ZB654 and am wondering if this is going to have an effect?
TSR2,not necessarily. In these challenging financial times airlines cannot justify letting their pilots fly around with large amounts of excess fuel as we used to do. Certain ATC units do not offer direct routings and always put their national aircraft in front of non-based operators plus the wind data used on the flight plan may have not reflected reality.. These will eat up the contingency fuel very rapidly.

tubby:
surely it's cheaper to fill the aircraft with fuel at base?! regardless of routing. Why only fill it with enough to do the routing....I am no expert here in no means which is why I would like enlightening but is it cheaper to fuel heavy on x2 short sector flights...or fuel for each flight individually based on lighter aircraft/better performance
