And, seeing as this was not an emergency landing, and they HAD landed in Calgary, who are not geared up to handle an A380, we have fewer staff at Calgary than at Vancouver, you would have been even more pissed at the resulting longer handling times too... So, seeing as you seem to distrust BA, its pilots, crew, operations and the whole flying operation, what do you plan to do?
