Thank you Mafibacon. Very eloquently and briefly put without the usual hysteria which certain members (myself included) tend to adopt.
Regarding the commanders decision in this instance, I agree entirely with his actions. It would have been silly to continue with the flight, albeit a short sector.
Mutt - I take your point. No questions should be asked when a Captain elects to take action for safety reasons. We could debate the correctness of the issue from here to eternity. However, the Captain is the one who is in the hotseat at the time and has to make her / his decision.
Pity - ADC is the newest and shiniest aeroplane in the A320 fleet - and some baggage handler has taken a mallet to the doors???? Haha.
MT,
I have been on the entire A320 fleet in the last four weeks. The new machines are looking well - obviously - but as noted previously, some of the others (particularly Romeo and Uniform) are a bitt shabby looking at the back (seat coverings I mean).
Otherwise, the interiors are spotless and so they should be with such a large army of cleaners.
I have clocked up the most hours and number of flights on Tango, November and Alpha respectively from the 3 fleets.
When is Oscar coming back on line? Hope they fix all the little nuances that he has......such as perpetual faulty warning lights.
