There's a report on this incident in today's Daily Telegraph, as if it has just happened. Talk about current news! I wonder if they got it off pprune as there are no extra details.
"British holiday makers waiting to return home from Turkey were told by their pilot "Do not fly with this plane. It is not safe"
The 180 tourists were about to take off for Bristol from aAntalya with Onur Air when they heard a strange noise from the engines.
They said the captain of the Airbus A321 came on to the intercom and said "I am resigning. Do not fly with this plane. It is not safe. Do not fly with Onur Air." He then walked off the plane. An alternative flight was arranged.
The aircraft had been chartered by the travel company Goldtrail, which has apologised to the passengers. It said: "The employee in question was serving his notice. It was not a major fault because the aircraft is still flying".
Why on earth would the Torygraph publish this story so long after it happened?
