@BCFC well you started it by saying the 300s were getting Longines the tooth!

The pilots tell me they’re very hands on to fly.

Cabin crew strike in Spain

I can only see one other EZY flight from AGP cancelled. Most operating as usual.

Not all of those will be Spanish crews. UK crewed flights are unaffected.

According to reports, up to 40 flights were due to be cancelled, all operated by Spanish crews.

Last night's Belfast flight was late - 3 hours 9 minutes - I counted everyone!
At least we were told the reason. The aircraft down to operate - G-CMJL - had a flat tyre earlier in the day and had to go to Dublin to have 2 new tyres fitted, then it had to operate to EDI before the LBA flight. I feel for the pax waiting to go back to BHD.
Hey ho, these things happen.

easyJet PMI cancelled tonight, presume Spanish strikes again.

Unfortunately, the service had to route back to BFS due to the BHD curfew. A double whammy of delay and diversion for the passengers.

This mornings service is also delay as a consequence of the re-positioning.

Yes due cabin crew strike in Spain.
PMI- LBA cancelled along-with PMI to BSL, GVA, NAP, BER, BOD, ZRH, NCE, PMO, NTE, TLS, 2+ LGW

We are unlucky as our flights are operated by EasyJet Europe Crews

Must have looked out of place waiting at Kwik-Fit for its new tyres to be fitted.

Today's outbound Albastar flight to Lourdes/Tarbes, is significantly delayed and still parked up on the airbridge at Stand 7. This is the result of a bird strike during arrival at lunch time.

Sounds like the PRM team will have their work cut out

That's a heck of a delay. They didn't replace the aircraft so was it just an inspection or did it need work?
Elbow grease and a cloth?

Sounds like it probably needed an engineer sign off.

They were waiting for an engineer, so presumably to check all was OK to fly.
