an earlier flight 1549 (Jan 13) with the same incident plane
Made me wonder ...

Remember the heron at MAN (I think it was MAN)?

Was this earlier 1549 "surge" also an unfortunate encounter with a (maybe smaller) bird?

Are engines systematically checked for possible bird strike damage after a "surge" report at low altitude?

Maybe it's now really high time to get rid of anomalies such as bird sanctuaries close to major airports?

Read the earlier reports such as quoted in post #790.
