Is there a Engineer onboard?
Its that time again. Some more strange but true news. This one is quite cool if I do say so myself.
A Thomas Cook flight from Menorca were told to expect an eight-hour wait while an engineer was flown out from the UK, to fix a mechanical fault on a plane which was ready to depart.
Luckily this situation was avoided and the plane touched back down in the UK only 30 minutes later than scheduled. If you have not already guessed from the headline after the announcement was made to the passengers enlightening them about the eight-hour delay a engineer came forward who was waiting to fly home.
A spokeswoman for Thomas Cook said the company followed strict procedures to ensure the man was qualified to work on the aircraft, a Boeing 757-200, during the incident on Saturday.
The passenger worked for another airline, Thomson Airways, which has a reciprocal maintenance agreement with Thomas Cook.
Good news for everyone on board and makes a good story. Unfortunatly the news teams covering this story has not gone in to much detail.
