US 725 Today

Moo1

I see on flight radar today the above flight stopped in Gander and the flight continued to Charlotte with an A319. Is this another example of stretching the 752 or a simple diversion due to technical problems?

Could've been technical. She was an hour late leaving DUB this morning,though i think that had more to do with the inbound flight having been late arriving.

Hopefully this is only a one time thing, as I am taking that flight next monday, have a plane to catch to ORD in CLT

757 had no problems last summer, as already said a tech fault most lightly.

From US Airways site:

This flight has been diverted to Gander, Canada. Estimated time of arrival into Charlotte, NC is 7:52 PM. (scheduled 12.55)
