Another random A345 delay ?
 
So AC15 arrived in HKG from YYZ on time on Sunday Apr 15. However, the return flight to YYZ, AC16, instead of leaving at 1525, is re-timed for 2245. Any insider information ?

Oh dear here we go....... this always starts a great HEATED debate! :D

Just to add to the debate anyone on the flight have they fixed the seat in row 5 that has DUCT TAPE :confused:

On one of his fights to HKG on 354,WF may have observed that seat in Row 5 was helded together with Duct Tape.
So he is asking if anyone on this flight recently saw a seat in Row 5 with duct tape or it has been fixed.

As many have posted on this forum, Duct tape is one of the "tool" AC J -Crew carries.It has become an essential part of emergency equipment on AC flights both domestic & International judging by the posts on this forum

I guess it is a good thing that I cannot see row 5 on AC seat reservation chart. ;)

I was suggesting that perhaps the seat was repaired. :)

If WF is saying he saw duct tape,I believe him. :) I have also
seen duct tape on Dash and B767 aircraft. :(

Isn't the dash held together with duct tape?

Ah well now, it's because AC only have 2 ..... oh forget it, I can't be bothered with this one all over again :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

But just thought I would add that the last 4 flight delays for a/c tech faults I have had travelling on AC, 3 were on 763's and one was on a A343. So there :p :p

AC016 is late due to Operational Crew Rest.... It has been approved to land at 0211 by GTAA

Can't be.They rattle way too much. :p Jazz staff did tape near the overhead bins to contain some of the vibration noises inside the cabin. :o

Anyone care to point this at somehow being linked to the fact the A345 is made by Airbus?. I mean there must be a link somewhere that someone can make...... :rolleyes: :D :D
