We've all done it, I hope the pilot left a note.

 

[TSB]

Is that not supposed to happen?

 

[Sajerz]

Very bizarre, I'd like to know why they supposedly went a different way than they were told.

 

[Triggaaar]

Waits for The Truth to come on and tell us it's not the plane the hit that building, but a cruise missile, and the plane has been put there as part of the coverup.

 

[Vegas Seagull]

It was simply taxi'ing Nowhere near 'take off'

There's always a smartarse who says "I know a good short-cut".

Pedantic but true, I was going a bit Daily Express with the thread title,

 

[The Stout Yeoman]

If in doubt .... carry on taxi-ing !!

 

[happypig]

Should polish out ok.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Just blame the SatNav

I predict that when they eventually recover the cockpit voice recorder it will say: "Oh bo11ocks!" or very similar ....
Assume they breath test the captain and his co-pilot?

 

[Sajerz]

I thought most airlines had sat-nav type tablets these days that guide them from stand to runway, so maybe a tech issue. Either way the captain is in the s**t.
