Arr that'll explain the ferry SY-CS on Sat'dy. Eastern's bailing out Sunstate YET AGAIN :}:}:}:}:yuk:

Yep, another 400 parked due to damage as you said. 300 supplied from Sydney to cover for it. Which now leaves Sydney short of a/c to cover the multitude of cancelled Canberra 400 flights which occur every day. At least we're buying lots more 400's so we have spare a/c when the wheels fall off (or the gear doesn't come down). :D

Toluene Diisocyanate,

Sorry to spoil this with some truth, but it was a 300 that was hit.

A catering truck hit the aircraft so how can it be the fault of Sunstate???

An aircraft, (SCE), was sent up to help out. I undertstand that SCE is on both AOC's and is in the group fleet for issues such as this

:cool:
