Drama on First Choice????
God you guys really take the biscuit. I know this is a rumour mill but try and keep to real life rather than fantasy. Yes I agree maybe a PA should have been made sooner, but without know all the circumstances then I cannot comment. "Maybe hot brakes, maybe he dropped the gear, cabin crew kept seating and oh no, no IFE for the first 15 minutes"
Who knows what was the 'issue' but take it from me at no time was safety compromised and if a divert was considered then it could have been for an awful lots of reasons, not least it was an ETOPS flight and if an instrument was not performing correctly then this would have been a consideration. Honestly guys if you are professional pilots then you would realise that minor technical issues occur very regularly and are dealt with, end of story. A case here of a mountain out of a molehill again i think.
Flyinthesky - Exactly what I have just said.
