Agree with all the above re safety. If this is true, the pilots should be sacked.
I have to go down to SJU at the w/e and had been toying with the Iberia option but had got the impression that the flight is frequenlty cancelled. That seems not to be the worst of it ! Now glad I picked an AA / BA routing.
BTW, how was the international business seating on the trans-Atlantic sector ?
