Kinda based on a true story...

Last week EK40 (A6-EBL) went tech at BHX and was delayed approx 27 hours.

I wasn't on it however I always travel business from BHX so would have been in the lounge. However when they finally decided to cancel it, would I have been sent home? I live about half an hour away from BHX or would they have put me in a hotel?

I wondered if there was a if you lived in a 10 mile radius kind of rule. Also what about the economy passengers, same thing? I know a few people travel up from Bristol etc to depart from BHX.
