Funny thing is, in China they have Tarmac delay procedures as well, even more restrictive then US (3hrs).
In Europe there aren't any procedures (yet?), but it should have been on these guys' minds..
Anyway CDG cat II this morning, possibly cat I due line training? Should have been a nice case to discuss for training

Media here have it that the crew was not cat III qualified and therefore ended up in amsterdam.
”Sorry dear passengers, but I am not qualified for CAT 3” is probably too much of a lose-face situation. Better not say anything at all then, as was done here.
