Brymon delay

[PA38]

My poor aged Mother was on a scheduled flight out of Man to Jersey on Saturday 2/9/00.
Departure time was 07:45 local and she was informed there was a delay because of shortage of crew!!!!
When they found the rare species known as "crew" she was then told there would be another delay because they had to refuel the aircraft!!!!!!!!!
It finaly left at 10:00 local.
How can you take the worlds favourite(franchise) seriously after putting up with crap like this....

Wouldn't this be British Regional?

If it was a Sat it probably was Brymon - Sat is charter day, unless you are certain it was a BA Flt No!

[PA38]

No it was Brymon BRY flight number, just gives you loads of confidence in the opperation....NOT.

In that case Brymon were flying for themselves & not BA. I would guess that their priorities are BA first & charter second! The same happens elsewhere too. Got delayed once in Aus for the same reason by Qantas, & they are a tad bigger than Brymon!

Hi PA38...The delay was initially caused by Cabin Crew sickness and awaiting a replacement...We then missed our already delayed slot, which added another hour.Hope your mums trip went o`k after the dissapointing start.
