[I]["Is LSAE still under maintenance since the PFO incident? I thought it had returned to MAN a few days ago but doesn't seem to have came back into service."/I]
LS863 to MJV on Friday 6th was due to be operated by LSAE. After about an hour and a quarter sat on board with engineers on and off and Fire engine parked behind us we were offloaded. Re-boarded replacement aircraft that came in from Leeds and got away about 19:30, about 4 hours late. Foot down all the way got us there in a tad over two and a half hours.
Obviously nobody wants delays,but Jet2 staff dealt with the situation as well as could be expected. Main problem with the flight was that because of the relatively quick replacement mmost passengers didn't have time to use their vouchers at Manchester. Meant that the food trollies were cleaned out early on. In fact they hardly managed to serve everyone. Good positioning at Gate21 meant we were first to get vouchers and took food on with us.
