yes I alluded to the likely problem of crud through the engines on the Limoges thread but expensive or not, it didn't seem to stop the Irish flying that one out pretty damn quickly.

slip and turn, I object to your suggestions that the "Irish" just showed up with a bucket of water , sloshed it through the engine and off they went.
We really are a whole lot more professional than you imply, and I believe they would have insisted on a high pressure hose as a minimum.
lina. . . . why don't you phone Atlas Blue and ask ? If you have some need / right to know, I am sure they will be happy to help, and if not. . well you are there according to your profile , so you know how it goes.

Sorry Capn! I missed this one - this is definitely your old self 
I've been praying I didn't have to get on the tractor ever since someone said they saw it at Stansted very soon after it went ploughing ...
I guess it's becoming ok again now though 'cos if something in the works was going to give, it would've by now

Funnily enough, on the excellent piccies that were posted on a link here a few pages back on the other (RYR) thread obviously ,the inside of the cowlings looked quite clean, which was a surprise,anyway a boroscope isn't so difficult to do and you are allowed after a birdstrike for example to complete several sectors before inspection if there is no vibration or obvious damage .
I suppose if the gear can accept our "world-renowned" landings, a bit of a quickstop courtesy of the french-organic-super- glue ain't gonna tear it off either . . . . Yikes.

Actually if anyone asks me, your company's world renowned landings are excellent when they don't involve apres-atterrissage questions about downwind expediency or runway conditions, or heavy braking when there ain't-a-gonna be time to cool 'em down before the next sector 
Personally I am all for a firm arrival at any time, but I have marvelled at some centreline greasers after horrible crosswinds, gusts and shears.
Just don't let them take the edge off, eh?

well captplaystation i asked atlas blue,and the only thing they told me is
that the investigation is not finished yet and they can't give me more personal information...
i'm just curious because i used to fly many times a year with atlas blue..so i care about the cabin crew that's why i'm worried

The end of the story
The problem was on both side. The ATC gave them partial information about the rwy condition, but the pilot should try to collect more about that and to take care about landing and evacuation.
In this case, the France is a `mother` country, the Moroccan CAA does not blame them.
They have repaired the B737 with 2 brand new engines and so (approx. 10 m US), and at the same time they have fired the pilot back to the Balkans where he is from. He flies among us every day.
That is the end of the story.

well i think mister fl380 that the pilot is not fired permanently,i think he had to wait about 3 months for the investigation that is taken by the french autorities..
exactly maybe he is now in the balkans but just temporarly...
that is what the atlas blue agencies told me about the balkan pilot...
it's a shame that they can play as they want with the pilots destiny
sorry for my english...

AB does not have hour builders YET. I found their simulator training thorough (though I have heard that depends on the TRI of the day) and the CAA validation checkride more challenging than some checks in JAA land.
If he is from the Balkans, then he is not only employed by Rishworth, but also by JAT and can return anytime he wants to their full time contract. Also, they recently got JAR licences in his home country, so there are now many more options...
