BTW, about 30 minutes or so to landing, I believe? Chasing the EC261 woukd be ON-topic, I guess.
I have no qualms, just merely pointing out that topic went way off subject.

Well, when a thread about operational incident affecting an FT member gets disrupted by off-topic bantz, it really shouldn’t need a mod to determine who’s talking too much, should it ?

Interesting data. Does anyone have a mainframe that could process it

In all seriousness, I ascribe to the cws approach of de-escalation here. Different views offered, discussed, and if dont all agree on the conclusion, we can at least agree on the TP chasing journey

Failing that, everyone is an idiot especially Badgers

Much better to do that on the ground IMHO

From here, it looks more like many of them think that they're older than they actually are! 380Zs were newfangled kit to me.

So, has the OP got there safely and how late was he?

Has whatever the operating system it uses behaved itself? (Just be thankful it wasn't Windows ME... or was it?)

Not Runcorn, but possibly for the same company at Northwich. Another user of the installation was Lord Kitchener

Expert Flyer shows 3:13 late. The delay is coded as the catch-all “ZO”, but the story relayed by the OP doesn’t seem like “extraordinary circumstances”. Therefore, it looks in-scope for EU 261 compensation.

Resisting the urge to engage the very interesting technical discussion... :-)

I hope the OP enjoys his time in Boston, perhaps made more enjoyable by the extra euros/pounds/dollars about to head his way!
