Hi everyone
Currently sat on BA277 to HYD which was scheduled to leave at 1505 but now told we’re going to be on the tarmac for another 45 minutes (ETD therefore 1715).
When we boarded, we were told that ATC clearance was delayed and that in the captain’s view, rather than leaving us to mill around in the terminal building, clearance to take off could be expedited if we completed boarding, pulled away from the gate and sat on some other part of the apron.
All rather strange. Does anyone have any insight as to the reason for the delay?
thanks
GD
