The flight was actually LCY to DUB... Nice choice from the skipper considering the weather in Dublin last night. ( I fly the box next door to ya! Well done C... and crew)

I was in both in both MAN and DUB yesterday and, while MAN was very windy, Dublin was worse. Still a nasty enough, gusty, x-wind on 24R though for an engine out landing. Well done the crew.
WHBM is right. The first most pax know that they're on cityjet, rather than mainline AF, is when they board and find the cc are friendlier and the aircraft smaller and smellier.

AF has no 146s. That would have been a CityJet aircraft under AF colors (incidentally, they use "City-Ireland", not "Air-France" callsign).
Any idea which airframe was involved? Not a spotter, but I happen to work with/for CityJet/AF in Brum.
Cheers :cool:
Aircraft was CSK. Going to ferry out tomorrow.
