    Does anyone know why the Etihad flight was delayed for around 4 hours today? Was flying from Dublin at 1pm today and they were just beginning to board- did it go tech?

    Someone I know was flying Aer Arann from Waterford a few years back. They were all onboard and then they go to start the engines. He sees 1 won't start. They try it 3 times, nothing. Everyone gets off, but Aer Arann being Aer Arann don't have anything or anyone based at Waterford Airport who can help. After 7 hours the back up plane arrives… I'd say Etihad would have been in the same ship if no one fixed it, had they not fixed the problem. ;)
