A lot of screaming going on.

Wasn't it a baby, they scream on any flight?

No it was the pilot!

Any pilots worst nightmare, a crosswind LBA landing!

Far from being a nightmare, they used to tell me they enjoyed the challenge.

Earlier today one of our based Ryanair MAX aircraft EI-IFV went tech in Tenerife. Tenerife based MAX EI-ILK took the passengers back via Faro, presumably for crewing reasons, with the passengers arriving about 20 minutes ago after a 6 hour delay

This has led to FR7664 to Warsaw having a 90 minute delay as it switched to other based MAX 9H-VVL
FR2326 to Palma, due to be operated by 9H-VVL, swapped to EI-ESS with a 2.5 hour delay, which operated the inbound FR2458 from Malaga, which arrived an hour late
The outbound FR2457 is being operated by our based B738 9H-QAT, subsequently becoming not our based B738. It has just departed 2.5 hours late after arriving from its ordinary duties as FR2660 from Alicante

Both FR2326 and FR2457 were booked as MAX aircraft and had booked loads exceeding that of a B738 capacity. That'll annoy a few passengers

What it does show though is how easily FR can swap units and cover with relative ease

 

[Len Fish]

They certainly seem to have improved in that respect.

how's it looking with wind? I've seen on social media that Hawes has already recorded over 50mph today. i also need to point out that this storm has nothing to do with me!

 

[Aviador]

Hawes is some distance further north from Leeds, infact it takes a good 90 mins to drive their from Leeds.

i didn't think it was thar far away. Today seems to have been a good day for me not to venture over the Pennines as i do fairly regularly Yorkshire Dales and Yorkshire Moors minibus tours from York and the occasional Yorkshire Dales minibus tour from Manchester Airport.

Depends on which outlet you check. The Auntie Beeb weather app currently shows tomorrow looking similar to today.

These days they give versions that are possible and let you decide
