A British Airways flight from Heathrow to Romania faced a significant delay and a £50,000 cost due to a pilot's mistake, in which they accidentally activated the emergency slide just before take-off. The incident occurred when the captain failed to disarm the plane door after passing documents to the crew, which would have prevented the deployment of the slide. The flight was eventually rescheduled, and the airline is expected to conduct a thorough investigation to prevent future occurrences.
