Anyone know anything about an EZY flight from AMS to STN recently which had an RTO due to a sticky/binding brake? A friend of a friend was on this flight and suffered a 12 hr plus delay. Anyone know what actually happened?
Looks like you've answered your own post!

5150,
Yes you're probably right. Just wanted to make sure of the circumstances as I've flown the airbus for 7+ years and never heard of binding brakes on take off. Yes we have had some brake unit failures, but these are revealed on turnaround inspections.
