It's not the first time the A321's have been grounded in the last 6 months.

Um... floor track is fitted when the aircraft is built and replaced at major checks if u/s.

Is the problem with the floor mounted track or the seats themselves?

We used to have a whole section devoted to chairs, can't afford it now apparently.

"Jetstar is a budget airline owned by Qantas" or is it vica versa?

Yes

Dunno

Ask Tech Records if it still exists.

Could be an Irish attempt at aligning with Ryanair? Loosen the seats prior to installation of the apple crates !

Applecrates?

I think not. Apparently there is a corrosion problem from spilled Danish butter, or whatever BB dropped on them

Sitting on apple crates while wearing loose 'apple catchers' while being served flapjacks smeared in Danish butter! Now that is what the future of the LCC model has in store for us!

Butter?

You get butter, what decadence. I live in a country that has declared the Golden Churn brand butter as non halal.....So no butter!

QANSTAR Golden Churn

The only golden churn would be in the QANSTAR executive cr@pper. With two(yes two) Oirish lads using the board-supplied plunger to try and flush the iconic brand and safety reputation down the the gurgler.
