Passengers were left waiting for hours after the pilot received a text with his positive results while in the plane's cockpit.
, British Airways explained:"We apologized and thanked customers for their patience and understanding while our teams worked hard to replace a pilot at short notice, so that they could continue their journey."
In a since-deleted video, Darcy reportedly claimed the test had simply been a false positive, making the 17-hour journey all the more frustrating. "The pilot makes an announcement and he's like 'Hey guys, I'm sorry, I just tested positive for COVID.' But we're not allowed to leave our seats. Three hours have gone by and we're still sitting in our seats...can't eat, can't move....come on.
"Then, two hours after that, so like 5 hours, they tell us it was a false positive. He never had COVID. So we're back on the plane, it's all good, except the food has gone off, they had to throw out our food for the 10-hour flight."that catering was unavailable for the flight due to the delay.
