I wonder what the real story is? Frankly, I'm a bit brassed off when I read quotations from well informed, highly educated (in technical and aviation matters amongst others) and sober "Sun Readers" telling the World about how unsafe an aircraft is, who said what and how they all saved the day! Reporting of matters aviation also leaves a lot to be desired, especially in Britain. I also wonder if there was something lost in translation. Onur Air doesn't have a good reputation in Europe but getting off before your pax, if this is true, is not really acceptable no matter what the reason and somewhat undoes the good of not flying a broken aircraft.
