I was on a PMI-LHR flight yesterday:
- There were 11 rows of CE -- how many rows before it becomes stressful to do the meal service?
- When we arrived at LHR, there was a delay as someone had to be sent out to "turn on the automatic guidance at the gate" - is this the modern substitute for someone waving their arms with the paddles/lights?
- There was a further delay as the bridge broke down and we had to exit via stairs at the rear door (I was excited to be walking on the apron at LHR 😅!) -- it seemed to take ages for the flight deck + the ground crew to get in sync, how often does this kind of thing happen and why wasn't the ground crew ready / why was it like they didn't know there was a flight coming in? (the baggage handlers were there within a couple of minutes)
