August 15, 20223 yr Looks to me like United handled the situation quite well. https://onemileatatime.com/news/united-airlines-iceland-diversion/ Noel The tires are worn. The shocks are shot. The steering is wobbly. But the engine still runs fine.
August 15, 20223 yr Moderator I also agree. There was literally nothing else they could have done! Fr. Bill AOPA Member: 07141481 AARP Member: 3209010556 Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator
August 15, 20223 yr Yeah, they did the best they could under the circumstances. I wonder if those poor passengers will be in any way reimbursed for their lost 9 hours? Glad I don't fly any more.

August 16, 20223 yr For once a reporter might know what's happening with the FTLS. Although he's guessing. But yes he's probably right. Split the duty at KEF, it's bloody obvious. It's the thing that happens every day in a busy crewing department. Yet they never get any praise,from anyone Crewing are the unsung heros in aviation, yet they get so much grief from primaddonas flight crew. I've always said, spend a day with me in crewing, you be a different person after hearing some of the stuff these drivers and dolly's come up with. Edited August 16, 20223 yr by fluffyflops
August 17, 20223 yr For a second, I was wondering if the plane in question arrived in Iceland from Athens, Georgia, not Athens, Greece. Now that would have been some diversion!!! 😁
