    What was the sense in that..If he waited he would be down on the ground now but now he is still in the air doing finals to shannon!

    In hindsight you can say that.....however that EI A320 with the 1 engine post birdstrike could have had a n issue vacating the runway or even left debris on the runway. The FR captain didn't want to wait too long so he made the decision at that time with the data he had. That's why he has the 4 stripes....make the decision when you need to rather than delaying it.

    On the flip side I've come back with round trip fuel giving me the ability to hold for over 2 hours. Not nice for pax or my bladder........

    Bottom line is no flight/crew is the same. All airlines are subject to sometimes holding for ages or breaking off in the medium or short term. I've seen Ryanair divert less than Aer Lingus averaging the numbers out.

    I remember doing a LPL flight one morning, 12 tonne I put on her, enough for a roundtrip to LPL - DUB / DUB - LPL 3 times.

    Serious delay no? Normally in mid afternoon just behind 58W?

    Or is it the norm on a Thursday eve for it to be a 332 and I just haven't noticed

    I love this thread and aviation - saved me from a real low point in my life. Hopefully for some people I won't be around so much from now on :D Apologies if I've been at all annoying at any point (I annoy myself so I know I can be). Cheers

    I think EI have a 'spare' A330 2 days per week. Perhaps Thursday is one of those days?

    20-30 minutes and the EI timetable would allow you to figure that out......I'm drinking so no going to do that just now!!! :D

    Correct free A332 available on Tuesdays and Thursdays, the aircraft in question LAX operated to AGP this morning so it's a fairly efficient use of a large aircraft on high demand routes.

    They had a pretty bad thunderstorm blow through last night and tonight. I'd wager that's what's causing the power problems.

    Can't say that BA doesn't have enough fuel! Guess they're flying out of the whole bad weather area?

    It's been redirected to Toronto. Sickener for the people who were looking forward to landing in New York after 7 hours.

    Ouch. I have even less clue about US airspace than Irish/UK - what's the deal with diverting to Canada?
