Something to cheer us up and remind us of the good times.
If you fancy an Irish aviation Christmas present while helping St Vincent de Paul, check this out.

Yes it can.
Gate 221. I saw it there on Monday.
Just guessing,
but if the crew were operating with the APU air bleed pressuring the aircraft then they could climb back to 20000 feet as the APU is certified up to 22500 ft using one pack.
This could have been done to avoid high terrain before diverting.
Very nice, but how long before these birds end up mysteriously in Iran ?
Jump to postAs the PPE equipment is usually packed in boxes for loading, it results in the aircraft ‘ bulking out ‘ ( physically full ) before it reaches it’s maximum weight carrying limit. Masks, gloves and gowns are not very heavy so while 1200 tonnes doesn’t sound like much in weight, it is millions of items...
Jump to postI believe Aer Lingus are also accepting passengers from cancelled British Airways flights so
they may not know exactly how many will turn up till just before boarding.
Here’s a link to a website detailing defunct Irish airlines with pics.
Including some not mentioned yet.

It’s a 3 hour bus ride from Sihanoukville to Phnom Penh. I’ve done it, with Cambodian karaoke all the way.
Why do they need to fly ?
Seems like they are just stretching out the announcements to gain the maximum publicity.
eg Aer Lingus reminded everyone of their 6 other new routes while announcing Rhodes.
The public are easily distracted these days and need to be brought back to the shiniest ball.
There are no Airbus pilots based at Shannon.
The 321LR flights may be operated from the Cork based pilots in the future.
EI cabincrew are normally hired for the Dublin base now but can bid to transfer to Cork or Shannon if a vacancy becomes available as these bases only have enough crew to cover their local flights . So it’s generally a lifestyle choice by them. They can be rostered from another base with their travel...
Jump to postAer Lingus cabin crew can be rostered for any Aer Lingus flight, the anomaly is the 757, but that will be gone in a few months.

Here we go.
This will keep him happy
The first A321LR is scheduled for delivery on 19th July, with 4 delivered before the end of the year.
Aer Lingus are hoping to do a flypast at the Bray Airshow with the first scheduled flight will be to Bradley on 2nd August.
I seem to recall that they bought their 747’s which used up a lot of their cash and reduced their financial flexibility to overcome the initial
start up problems.
WOW 2.0 already exists.
It’s called Icelandair.
I actually operated a 747 Dublin Heathrow Dublin flight in the early 90’s and it was a recovery flight due to fog.
Jump to postThe damaged Star Alliance 340 is exactly where the google map location is.
I know because I drove past it on Monday.
I believe the 17th January is the date for the big reveal.
Jump to postCheck out the crime stats for Trinidad .
Not a place I would like to visit for a holiday.
I can see this becoming a mess. Who pays the unpaid fees at Keflavik airport. Icelandair has to honour all the below cost fares that Wowair were pushing to generate cash in the last month. The cheaper Wowair crews will be used to force salaries lower at Icelandair causing labour issues, and any staf...
Jump to postAer Lingus also have free Keogh’s crisps in J class.
Jump to postI would imagine, seeing the queues at the Emirates counter, that many people will be bringing a lot of luggage. I can see the fees racking up to make it more expensive then other operators and if you miss your connection to Delhi, I hope you are dressed for 24 hours on Iceland.
Jump to postImpossible to make any money on these flights with extra flight times to Iceland , landing fees and expensive fuel on an airline whose only selling point is that they are cheap.
It’s a trip I would only do once as they may not be in existence for my return flight.
Some airlines also fly there to collect Syrian refugees to bring them to their home countries to begin a new life.
Jump to postYes. EIGCF was damaged by an airbridge and needs to be repaired over the weekend.
Jump to postGalwayman, You obviously have some personal issues with seniority. Are you a professional pilot ? In general, the senior pilots are the most experienced pilots in the airline, I would like the Captain flying me to be happy and focused on his flying and not distracted by missing his children’s birthd...
Jump to postWhat are the pilots asking for ? The right for the most senior pilots, ie those with families and children in school, to influence where they should work. This is not a request for a pay rise or extra days off and will put Ryanair in line with most other airlines ar no cost. At the moment, your base...
Jump to postAt €12 for a pint of beer I am surprised any pilot can afford to be intoxicated, allegedly.
Jump to postWith a name like EI rules have you considered Aer Lingus with 3 flights a day to New York and Avios points,
Seems a lot less hassle.
Perhaps Ryanair have to appear to be trying to set up a Berlin base in order to attract any Air Berlin
pilots into Ryanair.
To answer both questions above : Aer Lingus carry as much cargo as they can get to both destinations, the data from LAX is wrong. The aircraft are occasionally payload restricted in summer. As to why EIGAJ has not visited Boston? : This is their newest aircraft a 242tonne max takeoff -300, it's esse...
