BA jet makes emergency landing at LHR
I did not see this on the forum already.
No doubt the cattle prods are just warming up...
It seems that the flight crew felt light headed on a Glasgow shuttle and had to put on Oxygen masks.
It was LHR-GLA yesterday (7 Jan) departing around 4pm. Maybe an FTer was even on the flight!

There is no oxygen in the flight deck? 
I'm glad all on board got on the ground safely. Well done to the flight crew, who must have landed the plane whilst being very challenged. It does pay to fly BA with all the experience of flight and cabin crew.

"It later transpires that both pilots became lightheaded/dizzy/unwell at the same time, in my book that's serious"

I would certainly react if both pilots on a plane I was on felt like they were going to pass out!!

I simply don't get it
(1) how can air supply just to the flight deck fail? On boeings that I know (up to the 747), there is additional air supply to the flight deck but you also get what everyone else does. Is it different on the airbus --- or are the cabin doors airtight nowadays?
(2) what on earth happened to the oxygen supply on the flight deck?

And I doubt anything happened to the oxygen supply on the flight deck. It is someone misconstruing something they have seen to mean that oxygen was taken into the flight deck, which it would not have been. They have EROS masks and portable oxygen in the flight deck already.
EROS Mask. One per seat.
