BBC News (Har) Link to Story

quote:

Sophie Cooke, a 24-year-old management consultant, travels from London To Dusseldorf each week for work.

She said when the pilot first made the announcement that the plane was about to land in Edinburgh everyone assumed it was a joke. She asked the cabin crew if they were joking. The pilot then asked passengers to raise their hands if they wanted to go to Dusseldorf.

Everyone raised their hands.

How does the pilot not know he is flying north and not east?

He did. The order said to fly to Edinburgh which was incorrect.

BA doesn't know how the wrong flight plan was filed, and they really don't give a shite because they got paid.

If the earth were a globe it should be obvious and impossible to mess up.


Kind of makes you wonder doesn’t it?

BA say the pilot wasn't lost at any point, but because the paperwork said Edinburgh, the flight simply took that route.

If you click on the link, it explains that the wrong flight plan was filed so the pilots thought they were flying to the proper airport.

I can guarantee the Germans on board kept their elbows bent at a 90-degree angle...

Girls are hornier, and more culture. Not a bad flight deviation.
