I think they would ground any aircraft for safety reasons irrespective
of how popular.?




Then again, they wouldn't ground any aircraft without an identified
safety problem that was unavoidable.

you mean there was actually a captain on board?????

Greece isnt the best country when we talk about safety is it....... just
think of all the coaches, all the boats..... they always in the news.

"I believe that FCA only have 3 767s in operation presently.
FCA 767s are based as follows:
1 LGW
1 MAN
1 operates other MAN/EMA/GLA/NCL flights "

In there in-flight mag it says they have 4 767s.


according to their website they have somewhere between 2 and 5 depending
on when in 2005 the additional 3 mentioned at the end of the page
entered service -

G-OOAL, G-OOAN plus G-OOBK, G-OOBL, G-OOBM which will enter service in
2005 (it doesn't state exactly when in 2005 these 3 have entered/are
going to enter service)

Only if they think there is a major problem with the airplane. And,
frankly, there are major differences between the older 737-300's and the
newer -600's, -700's, -800's, and -900's.

AFAIK, the last time they grounded an aircraft type was the DC10 in 1979
after the American Airlines incident in Chicago.

Concorde after Paris. (Yes, I know that there were very few of them!).
