The M.E.N had the foam fiasco story which someone had linked on another site.

It included this piece of misinformation (bold print is mine):

"The first flight had been due to take off at 10.35am, with Virgin Atlantic’s bigger Airbus A330-300 taking over from Delta’s Boeing 757-200 aircraft, boosting passenger numbers from 164 to 266."

Are reporters fed wrong information or do they just get it wrong themselves - in this case perhaps getting confused with DL's new B757 service to JFK to start this summer? At least the 266 seats in the A333 is right.

ps. Never worked in the industry. Just a long time enthusiast and user of MAN.
