I was just on the Easyjet EZY8084 from Palma to Gatwick. Once we got on board we got an air traffic delay. The captain came out and explained the situation and invited anyone with children who wanted to use the 45 minutes delay to come and visit the cockpit. Once we took off there was medical emergency which meant half the cabin were occupied dealing with the situation. The remaining crew managed to deal with everyone else with good humour and all the passengers seemed to act with respect and patience. When we landed the captain explained that the medical emergency would be dealt with at the front and asked passengers to disembark through tje rear row by row.
I just wanted to say this was the perfect example of how to manage a situation and I wanted to congratulate the captain and the crew because it could not have been handled better.

7/8 NATO's place in this story is keenly contested. What's certain is that Putin has repeatedly railed against NATO's expansion in Eastern Europe. And NATO is central to the West's response to Putin. Here's how. (Posted on Feb 11 - before the invasion.)
