Bad. Pilots not knowing which direction they are flying. Going North instead of East. Look outside?? Pilots made error. Programmed wrong coordinates, forgot their destination.g

Could be a subconscious mistake.

Overwhelming desire to eat haggis and drink scotch over beer and Schnitzel

Maybe Trump was right, airplanes are just becoming too complicated.

Yes and I don't think it was the pilots who actually filed it. I read somewhere it was the management that files for this companys flights rather than the pilots.

Still having problems wrapping my head around this, the flight plan says we're flying to Dusseldorf, the plane heads for Edinburgh, 90 deg. to the intended course and the pilots don't notice the sun isn't in their face ? Bearing read out out?

If mgmt files the flight plans, and there consistently are errors, maybe this time the pilots said "Eff it. I'm not fixing this one."
