    Where: Bahia Blanca
    When: May 22nd 2009
    Who: 140 passengers and 7 crew
    Why: The right engine shut down when oil pressure (or the quantity of oil) went down. The flight was diverted to divert to Bahia Blanca

    George’s Point of View

    Another emergency on another MD-82. Two engines are always safer than one, and we’re all glad they made a safe diversion…

    Now…how old was the plane? Was this a leak that just developed, or a lapse of maintenance?

    Rebellious passengers

    What: Jet4You Boeing 737-400 en route from Casablanca Morocco to Bordeaux
    Where: Bordeaux
    When: Dec 4 2010
    Who: 121 passengers
    Why: While en route, the plane suffered a bird strike and made a safe landing. Another flight was diverted to pick up the passengers stranded in Bordeaux.

    However…the flight that was to be diverted to pick them up was flying from Toulouse to Casablanca…didn’t. We do not know how they got home from Bordeaux.

    When the 137 passengers aboard the replacement flight landed in Liege, they refused. (Refused to go to Bordeax, to get off the plane. Basically they rebelled. They did not want to go to Bordeaux and pick up the stranded passengers.) Apparently the pilot then left the plane, and the passengers (except for 52 of them who asked to get off the plane) stayed on the plane all night, outraged that their 90 minute direct trip had turned into 6 hours with 2 unscheduled stop. Their refusal ended up making them stranded even longer.

    They were promised a direct flight to Casablanca on Sunday.
