Watch out in Athens! They incarcerate crews who slide off runways, kinda like how United break guitars. In Greece, crew always get it in the end.

I was on the already late Easyjet flight to LGW that ended up having to hold for thirty minutes while they inspected the runway following the Air Arabia jet. We were told it had dropped a panel off the engine. Was a bit of an eventful weekend for me given that I was on this one too.

Counting the seconds before this thread finds its way to spotters...
