Well you see.. I did that one day, checked in, then went to visit a mate in the Control Tower. So my bags were on board (good), if they'd called for start / airways clearance I could have fixed that and got the controller to say wait for the last pax. When I got to the terminal 10 min before ETD the staff were all a flutter. I think it was East-West, and THEIR idea of on time was to be wheels off at the time on the schedule, unlike most operators where that is the brake release time.
I did feel guilty as I walked down the aisle of the BA46 to the last row, with the rest of the pax strapped in & waiting.....
