    From reading it I can gather that it was a show of hands for people who wanted to get off and get another flight as there was an engine issue and not a show of hands to actually fly with a faulty engine.

    This story first appeared in a well known red top known to twist "the truth" to suit its own agenda, so we should let common sense prevail here

    Do the airline not have a case against the media with this one? It is quite defamatory.

    As above, probably but the best the best they could hope for would probably be a tiny apology hidden away somewhere obscure on the site/in the paper, completely disproportionate with the coverage the actual story got.

    OK, on the basis that the less oxygen we give to fake news sites the better, I think closing this thread at this stage is probably the best plan, and I am going to update the first post to make that clear

    Shore, if it was easy, everybody would be doin it.😁
