Why on earth doesn't @OvercastFM have a button to actually trigger the sync on Apple Watch. Now I'm going out with my f***ing phone.

I assume @britishairways have considered and dismissed this idea but given that "boarding by group" is essentially a front to back boarding process. Would it all go easier if everyone boarded from the back of the plane?

So it turns out that if you want to be "the man with a plan" that plan does indeed need to involve going outside with an umbrella when it's raining.
