A lot have moved out of Cheektowaga... * When the people got off the errant plane, was there a sign telling them they were in ‘Goslow’?
WotAGuy Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 Once again, the customers were the only ones that knew what the $&@! was (supposed to be) going on.
Chef Jim Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 I'm actually quite surprised that something like this doesn't happen more often. And to the person that asked don't they say "welcome to flight _________ heading to ________"? I fly several times a year and yes they do say that. Maybe they said it in English and everyone on the plane spoke German?? The chance of that is slim and none so they may just have not mentioned it.

It involves a number of things, hotel/transportation changes etc., so if there is a change to your schedule, you know it. I'm not familiar with London City airport, so it may be that the crew boards from the ramp, or there are no terminal ..destination signs, and I have never looked at baggage tags. Still, I am very familiar with flight management system uploads and how flights are managed from the flight deck. You don't get the plan up-link until you type in the destination ICAO identiier. Not possible they typed in the identifier for Edinburgh instead of Dusseldorf, as it would cause a host of other issues. Point is they were expecting to fly to Edinburgh, had a flight plan for Edinburgh, loaded the flight management system for Edinburgh and flew to Edinburgh. Not possible to stare at a screen that displays your route and not notice it is going northwest instead of east, and a hundred other things that would have tipped them off. In short, not their issue. You don't even need that much knowledge to see this. With all the controlled air space they'd be flying through, how in the hell could it be the pilots that screwed up? Regional ATC centers would have had to have that flight plan on file.

CNN would have been in ‘rogue airplane coverage’ hysteria mode before they even attempted to land.
