Waiting on baord an American Airline flight at Manchester Airport the Captain told us that we would be a while leaving as we can't get pushed back from the gate "As it seems that no one works past six pm in Manchester and their is only one tug (the little truck with the toe bar) left operating and we are fifth in line."<BR/>A few minutes later he yelled through the intercom "Yehaaaaa, here it comes, we'll be outta here in no time."<BR/><BR/>As we had experienced a thirteen hour delay there was a round of applause and wild laughter. Needless to say the crew manning this flight was a relief crew and were fired up and well rested. It was one of the best flights I've ever experienced.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
