Anyone know why EI105 didn't land in JFK today? FR shows it approaching JFK but not landing and diverting to Boston. Only got down to about 2000 feet. Landing gear issue?
|
Weather, several aircraft diverted.
|
Ah right. Thanks. Just curious.
|
EI short over 20 flight deck crew today.
Pilots being called on days off to operate. Is this going to be the norm this summer? |

No idea but there has been some operational disruption this week which had lead to replacement crews been required which could of just added to the problem and required a much higher volume of call ins as a result.

Looks like the kicking from Easy and FR has driven out the Shamrock. |
Got a cracking deal to LAX the other night 547 return in September . Absolute steal .

Really? With ET at €400, I know which airline I'd take.

No preclearance and non daily, so if they're not flying the day that suits you, an extra €150 isn't massive. In the grand scheme of things, both fares are bargains let's be honest
Priced EI for January in J €3300 An extra €150 may not be huge for economy but €2000 is a lot in business class!!!!! I can live with clearing immigration for that kind of saving. |

If people are paying it you can't blame an airline for charging it though, and I've seen EI at over 5k for J to west coast before |
No pre clearence ,dates suited better with Aer lingus and prefer the a330 .

Just curious as to what is the preference over the A330? |
I'm curious too. Have flown the EI A330's + numerous other carriers and only ever have flown the 787 with AC & UA but hands down the 787 wins... Ye all know the saying........

Seat width and (somewhat perceived) space are legitimate reasons to prefer an 8 across 330 to a 9 across 787.

According to seat guru, ET pitch is 33, width is 17. EI pitch 31-32, width is 17. I am actually surprised that nobody has though that the 787 with its lower pressurisation does not leave you with the tired feeling when you leave the aircraft. Unlike the older model A330. |

Question that I might get a quicker answer to here than from EI.
Will make Platinum Class for next year. Two things. Is the complimentary upgrade to business class one way only and when is it applied? At time of booking? Check in? Boarding? New to this loyalty programme business so not sure. EI website and customer service not very good on this! |
This article in the Irish Independent makes for interesting reading. The Aer Lingus submission referred to is obviously an impassioned attempt to warn the unions off impending pay increase demands but sets a very serious tone.
Aer Lingus warns it faces turbulent times as low-cost Norwegian and Ryanair threaten its market share - Independent.ie |
