Some executive probably thought it up, they’ll add it to the resume as an essential cost saving measure and move on to another department or company in a few months or year ..
I’d imagine the person behind that was promoted.
You’d be embarrassed to be associated with it.
Never went in the end. Did an overnight in LHR last night.
More detail here (it's a UK manufacturer and whole cabin on new arrival aircraft).
And again EI soak up the most basic Recaro you can get, whole-cabin, no headrest or cover, no branding alignment or beading. Very disappointing.
That’s BA’s third new short haul seat in around 10 years, alright for some in the IAG family!
Aer Lingus hasn’t had a comprehensive short haul cabin refresh in over 20 years. There’s been minor tweaks and life extending projects along with a few new fleet additions but nothing like a complete nose to tail redesign of the short haul experience.
I expect it’s another case of not being worth the investment for IAG, the airline is and will continue to be profitable but due to its size it will never be worth as much to the group as BA, IB or even VY so investment will reflect that for the foreseeable, pilot agreements or not.
Isnt "Club Europe" is their shorthaul biz class?
Lynne seemed to have ventured to Shannon today for a IWD event.
I know one person for whom this will be a retrograde step as she manages to leave something behind every two or three flights! Sometimes a full purse, sometimes a book or iPad/kindle. Amusingsly she’s never left her phone behind.
It is but those seats are for Euro Traveller and Club Europe. Only being fitted in newly delivered NEO aircraft. Previous new Euro seats have led to densification in BA’s fleet so not sure if a stitched leather seat is all that attractive. Some of the older aircraft had marginally better seat pitches.
I liked EINs plastic pocket, if you needed to you could bring safety card with you (unlike RYR) and it stopped CC having to clean between sectors. Only wish it was a bit bigger and transparent. I've tried to put my phone inside the pocket as a holder for watching movies but it's not see-through. As Marcusm said it prompts you to leave your belongings in a bag/coat so less likely to lose stuff.
Put your phone and wallet in a seat back with great caution. Apart from the leaving behind thing a lot of very unpleasant things get left there, starting with used catering items and the mild end of the scale and running up to nappies and sanitary/medical items.
Bring a safety card with you??
EI crew do not clean, the removal of a safety card is theft despite whatever avgeeks may view its memorabilia as.
I meant more if you were trying to escape, its more helpful to be able to bring the card with you then have it stuck to the seat like RYR!!!
If you were standing in front of me, in the aisle, inside a burning aircraft, holding your safety card and reading it to work out where the nearest exit was and how to put on your life jacket….you'd get an almighty kick up the hole! 😂
There's at least one on every flight 😄(and don't forget the duty free)
FEAM have put a Behind the scenes video of the repair work done to EI LRD on Instagram.
Quite a amount of work went into repairing her.
Got the link?

Thanks sorry I was viewing from the app so was unsure how to copy the link. (dopey head on me)
Interesting how they disguised the operator with the different colours of the livery in the wide angle shots.
Looks like it was quite a challenging job to complete, very impressive!
True but if we were on an emptyish yoke and they'd a struggle to open the door you would want to be able to have it to hand! All it takes is for one bad accident and someone in the AAIU saying operator should have had them free to hand and then all the RYR seats will need to change back.
Why the need to do that I wonder ?
There's a reason why cabin crew when selecting ABP's in an emergency aren't going to be relying on those who need to hold a safety card and carry out each step visually from it - It would be those able to process an instruction, give the impression they are confident in executing it and without any self bias (travelling with others etc.).
I'm afraid if it were the case as you state, some passengers would never get out of an aircraft. It is simply not realistic and more a reflection of how you seem to process visual information, that you have a confirmation bias when executing a task.
Aircraft are designed in such a way that emergency escape is relatively straight forward and uncomplicated.
Well there's a safety card onboard, every operator can't be wrong!
It's literally printed on the headrest beside the emergency overwing exits. That's actually much better than having to open a leaflet mixed in with magazines and personal items.
There are printed ones for those that sit at the front or anyone else that requests it but that would be weird because you've been staring at it for the last hour or 2. On most flights I wouldn't even bother opening the safety card and I'd say most are the same.
Safety Cards are mandatory at every seat - it is a regulatory requirement not operators. If I may say so, you aren't delivering your points well at all, I'll end my replies to you there.
So I think its save to say no a330 be repainted this year
Airlines likely don’t want their brand highlighted under such circumstances as it could be perceived negatively by those less informed.
It’s similar to how aircraft that are sent for scrap will have their logos, titles and other obvious identifiers covered up before the scrapping process. No airline wants images of a broken up aircraft associated with their brand.
Yeah, you don't want the likes of this...
