Ps. recently flew with sas from CPH to BHX. On pushing back in the 737 the strange sequence of internal lights indicated a generator failure. It was duly annouced that the replacement aircraft would depart at 7.15 pm (and it did)
On boarding the MD ?3. the captain announced--welcome aboard. now that we have a reliable aircraft we will depart to BHX in a few minutes etc etc.
