Leeds Bradford: Weather & Technical Diversions, Delays & Cancellations

[White Heather]

When the pilot(s) have high workload, they say nothing.

Not even 'does anyone on this aircraft know how to fly a 737?'

You've been watching Airplane 🤣

Got me thinking, how would the pilot deal with that situation when it comes to informing the passengers there diverting to AMS, what would he/she say to not worry the pax, make something up 😂🙁

Discretion being the better part of valour, announce a technical fault, not endangering the safety of the aircraft but needing ground assistance..These guys have been trained by O Leary🤣🤣

But it would be quite obvious to some pax that the flights was descending earlier than expected which may alarm some onboard unless some announcement was made?

That film did actually come to mind as i was writing my bits on here 😂

I don't disagree but what would be more alarming? Diverting and landing early or being told one of the pilots is incapacitated. It might be possible for the remaining flight deck crew to alerted the cabin crew and then they can inform the passengers. It would be interesting to know what actually happened.

In all seriousness I'd go for technical issue, rather than one of the pilots has conked which might cause more concern than 'Technical' would.

The simplest way would be an announcement to say 'one of our airline crew is unwell so sorry folks, we need to divert'. No need to specify who within the crew or what is the matter with them.

Indeed and then it's down to workload and the practicality of making an announcement.

The A321 has positioned to Madrid to take the passengers and continue the flight to Fue. The B738 G-JZHK is expected to position back empty to LBA from Madrid.

Has this mornings KLM gone tech? Due out about an hour ago but still on the ground.

Getting ready to depart now

 

[LBAYORKIE]

Thanks. On- time departures are critical for KLM. They use a 50 minute minimum connection time in AMS so departing over an hour late is a major issue for connecting passengers. I would be inteterested to know the reason for the delay if anyone knows.

Was apparently a poorly PH-EZX but now it's PH-IXD 😂

They seem to have been operating a lot more of a reliable service this summer, compared to eastern last year!

That doesn't say much.

 

[airforced]

Lighten up LBAYORKIE and celebrate the positive. I know, what with one thing and another that there isn't too much to celebrate at the moment but 752 has made a fair point hasn't he. I'd say that getting KLM's livery back is a positive in itself.

 

[Finger66]

Agreed, and to be very fair to them, which I once again admit I haven't always been, a lot more E190s and E295s so a definite upgrade in both service reliability and capacity

Looking at FR24 BHX took a beating last night with the storm, lots of diversions
