There you go, I guess that and what the captain told us is what we get. Thanks!

About 2 years ago, an AC bird was hit by a catering truck at LAX. On my flight down, there was a complete deadheading crew to bring her back.... and some very angry and delayed pax in the gate area when we deplaned.

Air Canada Rouge #AC1944 to Bogota has returned to Toronto. They spent over six hours in the air. Reports of unrest/protests in Bogota. Decision made to return.

We could almost use a new "It Happened Over Winnipeg" type thread for unrest - Chile, China, Colombia ....

I think every incident should have its own thread. And there should be a subdirectory or folder to contain it all.

I will admit, the first time I saw this thread the title confused me, but now I just know it as the master incidents thread.

And also, with regards to Tom Podolec in the post above, is he on this FT forum?

I had to look up where Noumea was.

Nothing useful in EF. I wonder what happened there?

Wonder why the backtrack to New Caledonia instead of Fiji, unless FR24 wasn't showing exactly where she was when she turned back?

As for useful info, um

RE AC 857 cracked windshield and diversion to DUB


Incident: Canada B788 over Atlantic on Nov 23rd 2019, cracked windshield

By Simon Hradecky, created Sunday, Nov 24th 2019 21:32Z, last updated Sunday, Nov 24th 2019 21:32Z

An Air Canada Boeing 787-8, registration C-GHQY from London,EN (UK) to Toronto,ON (Canada), was enroute at FL390 over the Atlantic Ocean about 300nm northwest of Shannon (Ireland) when the crew decided to divert to Dublin (Ireland) due to a cracked windshield. The aircraft descended to FL250, the crew requested and was cleared to dump fuel on the way to Dublin. The aircraft landed safely on Dublin's runway 10 about 55 minutes after leaving FL390.

A replacement Boeing 787-8 registration C-GHPT reached Toronto with a delay of about 24 hours.

The occurrence aircraft is still on the ground in Dublin about 30 hours after landing.

Isn't this the second or third cracked windshield that AC has had in last 6 months?

Sounds like the brakes may have been partially on during take off? Otherwise how would they get hot?
