DUBXH,
"Can I not post a comment without being condemmed?"
Apparently not mate. I was condemned and told I "was on a moral high ground" for daring to challenge this lovely and informed piece:
"I was at a lunchtime lecture recently given by Willie Walsh Quote "Aer Lingus is a low cost Airline rather than low fares " given the state of the A330's is this not taking low costs to extremes.
What Price Safety ?"
I was also condemned for saying that I had not seen the bad state of EI 330 cabins. I'm not lying: I havent! Perhaps i've been lucky with aircraft, but it seems like you cant say anything here anymore! You must be anti EI to fit in apparently...

DUBXH,
By the way, welcome to the forum. Despite one claim to the contrary, your first posts have been very informative. Good to see you are not easily put off by criticism.. you need a thick skin in here sometimes!

Hello All,
Well you may have read in the irish papers today that the Shamrock are looking at replacing their A330's with either more new A330'S or the 7E7!!!! So you may get your cabin upgrade then! hehehe!
But having a mate who was crew on the flight that made the emergency landing, im confident that I can explain what ACTUALLY happened!
As the aircraft was climbing at only a few hundred feet, alarms sounded in the flight deck of an engine fire, the engine in question was immediately shut down and the crew elected to make an imemdiate heavy landing back into Dublin with pax fully briefed by the captain!
Hairy moment for crew and passengers but testiment to the crew as most of the passengers reboarded when a new plane was found and the same cabin crew elected to continue!!!
Mind you, poor sods travelling to Baltimore had their plane robbed!!!!
Turned out that when inspecting the engine in question, a number of wires were found to have melted so obviously something did go wrong!!!! oh dear!!!
