Go Airlines 737 Decompression
A few days ago a Go 737 enroute from Belfast to Nice after a 7 hour delay had a decompression at 35,000 feet. It was not rapid but needless to say the oxy masks dropped out and a rapid decsent to 14,000 feet was made with a diversion back to base at Stansted. Apparently a cargo door had not been closed properly at Belfast. Go Airlines had 5 unservicable aircraft at Stansted and a further delay was forced upon the poor passengers. The worst part of it is, they made the SAME crew take the replacement to nice that same day. Might they have been a bit stressed by then to conduct a safe flight? One lucky passenger was sitting on the jumpseat throughout the said flight and witnessed all the dealings as they had 149 passengers and only 148 seats (or there abouts). Oh well, 6 sectors a day as usual!

Sounds like a good reason to keep pax off the J/S!!! Impropely shut cargo door - don't think so!! Cargo door warning perhaps (microswitch) however the procedure is to carry on as normal if there no loss of pressure.
' Last week a crippled Airliner belonging to the Airline GO, which is owned by British Airways had a lucky escape when it made an emergency landing at Stansted. Mr Doris Scruggs who was sat in one of the pilots seats said 'The two young men done brilliant, they saved my life, and they avoided landing on a local school' This is not the only problem to have affected the beleagured Airline, a month ago a baggage trolley is believed to have touched the side of the aircraft - scratching the paint'

Dallas Dude.........
As I said before and as WWW pointed out, not all of the information might be totally correct. All I know is that I was told by a member of the crew who is a good friend of mine.......perhaps after such a long delay they were desperate to get all the pax away and thought it stupid to leave one behind, I don't quite know. If it is true then he/she was a lucky B*****D and I'm very jeleaus! I always seem to get the excuse when I travel:"Sorry sir but it is a training flight today"!

Trainee Pilot: sorry, but there are times (usually on the last sector of a long day) when we don't really want people on the flight deck, as they tend to ask inane questions, talk over ATC transmissions, and generally prevent us from relaxing a bit. Usually, you are most welcome... just try and respect our decision if you aren't!!
I thank you...
