One of those is flightcrew,i noticed her popping her head out the flightdeck window,i’d seen the calendar the day before & wondered there cant be that many good looking ryanair pilots!:O

I appreciate the situation you found yourself in with this flight,unfortunately without the exact date/times/IAA notice dates,it would be very difficult to comment on the exact nature of the communication between the flight crew & engineers.

All i will say is that if the engineers are notified of a problem(which in some cases isnt always the case),they have no problem in sitting an aircraft down & delaying up to 189 pax + knock ons.All we are concerned about is safety.

With this is particular case,perhaps there was a communication issue with the crew.

Nice shots,brilliant in fact.

How’s Barcelona airport for getting around to the photo spots?,car the only way?

I flew DUB-PIK-DUB recently with FR,and i find the cabins quite comfortable,i was on EI-DAO,which has the non-fabric seating.I’m 6 foot 3,and of wide build and i didnt have a problem with the seating.If you dont like crowded flights then dont fly at peak times.Any flight by any airline at peak times is likely to be full,hence the term peak times.

I’d like to point out the facts when it comes to ryanair,they are what they are,they’re not pretending to offer a service that isnt there,year on year more passengers fly with ryanair…….so they must be doing something right.

Did you have any trouble with the BAA security van that passes by that spot(inside the fence on the windy road),i was at that very spot in the summer and was givin stern instruction to stay on the footpath behind the ditch at the fence,so this restricted me to only arrivig photos and with the thought that the security chap was a tosser!

Tartan the LTU A330 does a weekly charter to Cape Town,longest non-stop service from DUB,and a bit of a push off DUB’s short-ish runway.
