Good out come. Just as well he hadn’t got into the spirit of his family holiday in the departure terminal before hand.
Now one of easyjets aircraft sits on the tarmac whilst a crew are flown out to Alicante. :-)

It's one thing to go prepared to offer your abilities. It's another for them to accept them.

Little do we know, this hero, this heroic father who flew the plane.. Was no other than AB's very own... Baldric!

35 seconds after he rang them? It seems a quick decision! His name was probably known to those on the phone.

I actually read the Lad Bible article but felt that the Manchester evening news would suit AB's audience better.

It seems a lovely story for the pilot and his family along with the rest of the airplane. They got their holiday:)
