It's actually now utterly ridiculous.
Who is maintaining these airframes and when is the CofA next up? Something isn't right. Is this now becoming a IAA/CAA potential matter?
I certainly agree this machine with it's technical issues which nobody seems to be able to fix permanently is ruining their reputation. EF flew in from Prague at 2300 and seems broken again this morning delaying the Dublin flight outward by 4 hours. Is this aircraft leased (I do get confused) and why can it not be returned to FlyBe and replaced?
