Thanks Paddy - hope the person involved in medical emergency is ok.
Anyway my flight to MCO arrived nearly 30 mins early. Elapsed flight time 8 hours 5 mins.
Only 78 PAX on what was the first Wednesday schedule flight.
Hope the load factor improves.
As ususal we had to go through the full monty TSA security check on arrival.
Why oh why does Aer Lingus not use stands similar to those used by BA and Virgin whereby the arriving PAX do NOT have to go through this TSA security check fiasco?
And please do not give me the excuse it makes it easier for EI ops to use the present stand leading to a quicker turnaround. They already have built in 3 plus hours for the turnaround.
