Hello All,
Well you may have read in the irish papers today that the Shamrock are looking at replacing their A330's with either more new A330'S or the 7E7!!!! So you may get your cabin upgrade then! hehehe!
But having a mate who was crew on the flight that made the emergency landing, im confident that I can explain what ACTUALLY happened!
As the aircraft was climbing at only a few hundred feet, alarms sounded in the flight deck of an engine fire, the engine in question was immediately shut down and the crew elected to make an imemdiate heavy landing back into Dublin with pax fully briefed by the captain!
Hairy moment for crew and passengers but testiment to the crew as most of the passengers reboarded when a new plane was found and the same cabin crew elected to continue!!!
Mind you, poor sods travelling to Baltimore had their plane robbed!!!!
Turned out that when inspecting the engine in question, a number of wires were found to have melted so obviously something did go wrong!!!! oh dear!!!
