BA57 LHR-JNB returned to gate before takeoff

Tonights BA 57 has returned to gate due to a sick crew member. We have returned to stand B33, which was the original departure gate.

227 pax on board, and pretty much all in economy. Literally can’t see an empty seat.

I'm struggling to understand your comment here. That flight looks like a 52J 744. For there to be 227 passengers on board and almost all in economy it would mean the other cabins would need to be almost entirely empty. What am I missing?

Oh dear - that route again..... Having just advised a poster on another thread (trying to find decent J pricing to CPT) to take it ;-)

Oops

Oops
Fortunately it was only delayed by about 90 minutes, let's hope the crew member is okay.
