If we want someone to feel sorry for, how about AA55 out of Manchester this morning?
Had a problem with a bleed valve and lost half their air conditioning. Did a U turn and landed at Dublin to get it fixed.
Took off again after 4 hours, only to discover they had the same problem so back they went to Dublin.
Oh dear!
