3 engines to St Johns
I saw that in the WSJ and was very curious. Some of it does not ring true
First - why would an A340 - Paris-JFK have to dump fuel to land at St Johns -surely they would have being under the max landing weight. They must have being airborne for close to 5 hours with maybe 1.5 to go.
The second is why the brace stuff - running on 3 of 4 really is not that dramatic.
Something about the whole thing sounds fishy. Two parts ring true. The captain saying it he had never experinced an engine failure in XX years and second the hopitality on the rock.
Anyone have any more info?
