G-OMYT 17th & 19th Nov 2012
We were on he scheduled plane Sunday 18/Nov/2012 to Goa
On arrival at 6am, told we were being grounded 24 hours
We flew out 27 hours later on TCX0138 to Goa on Monday 19 Nov 2012
On the plane TCX0138 flight crew said, On Sat 17th Nov 2012, G-OMYT was going to Cancun, it departed, but over Ireland declared an emergency, & returned, Manchester Airport Hangar 1, changed the engine.
The passengers were put up in hotels, & kicked off, so on Sunday, T/C gave them OUR intended plane, so they could go to Cancun on 18/11/2012.
We of course were grounded from 18th until the 19th, told we had to await for the Cancun plane to return, so we could leave on it.
However, they are now saying, that on the 19th Nov 2012 our plane ??,
G-OMYT was now fixed after having an engine change, & we departed on that, & that we did not leave on the plane just returning from Cancun ?.
So we were refused 27 hours flight delay, as they acclaim, extro ordinary circumstances. What is true, that they keep changing the story line,
& have never given a straight answer or proof as to what really happened.
So we will look into it as best we can, to find out what actually did happen, & if we went on the 19th on G-OMYT or not.
If of assistance, the plane going to Cancun on Sunday, is stated as being,
G-MDBD This we cannot confirm.
