LHR-MAN 50mins early!

I was picking up a mate who is cabin crew on New Years Eve. He was operating the last MAN-LHR of the day and said he'd call me when he landed. Anyway - got the call 50 mins early!
2 Pilots, 6 cabin crew and ONE passenger!!
Lucky guy apparently was joking with crew about being like a private charter to heathrow (makes a change from charters to LTN or STN!)
Apparently most passengers were put on the earlier flight if they were there in time - so with only one passenger they were able to board and leave half an hour early, Then they missed the record of a flight from MAN to LHR by about 25 seconds!

Anyone else had 6 crew at their beck and call for a flight? Or were you the sliver card holder who was on that flight?

Worked out well though as gave us 50 mins more drinking time before the "bells"!

Happy New Year
