fr336, regards the colour, it has a big green tail on it and wingtips and the rest is white with aer lingus wrote up the front.

I still don't quite know what's going on (guess I haven't joined the dots correctly) but I assume it's a plane EI have brought in from someone else and it will be operated as any other EI flights - by their staff, their callsign/s, everything. Not operated by Air Contractors as the press releases on Google seemed to show me.

It will be operated by EI and ACL pilots and only EI cabin crew

Save it for when this thread is active all through the night due to high winds in Ireland :P Wishful thinking, probably - surely there won't be anything like the Christmas madness for a while?

fr336 · 31-01-2014 10:35pm

Oh, they in fact didn't mess up any zeros.

I know yeah, or how dangerous it would be or that they'd run out of fuel, you know something untrue just to get the headlines
