On the radio this morning, I heard that another Helios flight had to turn back to Larnaca after a problem occured onboard. This flight was heading to Glasgow, UK. (GLA)

Great, thanks.
I wonder if this is a Helios problem or Maintenance problem?

A Helios pilot only has to sneeze these days and the media will say he's got Bird Flu.
Helios are really under the spotlight now and I for one hope they pull through ok.

It's too bad Helios have aquired a bad reputation. A relatively small carrier makes on tragic crash and already is is accused of being an airline from hell. My belief is that if you start an airline and have a crash, you are doomed for life. HOwever, if you start up an airline and run it for several years and get a good reputation, a crash will not affect the reputation at all. Take Air France, for example. They had two notable crashes (Concorde, 340 @ YYZ in August), and I dont know anyone that thinks less of them. I really do sympathize for Helios.
