Cool

Heard this morning from a friend at Air Transat that the first engine was shut down - then the fuel dump problem started which made life rather interesting for the crew - and the other engine, of course!

CBC reports that Air Transat have been cited for seven maintenance infringements over the past year - including using an L1011 part on an A330. As that can mean anything from a seatbelt to a rivet, I wouldn't attach too much importance to it at this stage.

Apparently, the A330 is not much liked by anyone at Air Transat - with crews preferring by far the L1011 - apart from the accountants. Any other A330 operators feel the same?
