One of those weeks...
« on: 21 March 2025, 06:08:09 »
Get to work on Tuesday, park on the roof of the multi story staff car park.

Just start boarding passenger and get an email saying that said car park is close for emergency repairs.

Get to Seattle to another email saying that no cars have been damaged and that the car park is still closed but we'll be able to collect our cars without issue.

Just boarded to come home when a passenger announced that Heathrow is closed until midnight because of a fire in Hayes.

Get back to the hotel 5 hours later.

Perhaps a 23 year old Norwegian trolley dolly can help ease the executive stress. :)

My GF is currently in Vancouver... Which is frustratingly ironic

How the hell doesn't Heathrow have backup generators??

We have a datacenter just over the road, maybe we can through some big cables over!

It wouldn't surprise me if they'd plugged in all their electric carpark buses and they back fed the system. >:D

It's really hard to believe what's happened, talk about bad planning .

Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level & beat you with their experience.

The passenger who first said about Heathrow being closed was rebooked onto my flight back last night. He and his colleague made up for the extra two days by drink all the Cabernet Sauvignon. He was saying that out of a group of 10, they were the third people to arrive back and that apart from 1 person on the earlier flight, the rest were getting back tomorrow.

The blame game is well underway. National Grid say there are two other substations that could have been brought on line so there was no need for the airport to shut down.Someone questioned whether Heathrow would know this,but surely there should be contingency plans in place other than just shutting the airport? After all to rely on just one power source is madness. It's also being said that the boss of Heathrow decided to go to bed and left it to his deputy to deal with the situation.
