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 ?

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

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

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

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......
