I hope Aer Lingus have carried out all their equipment checks, I also hope that they have completed changing the ASI's as advised by Airbus but that they ignored prior to the Air France incident

Most of the Aer fungus fleet are A320's ?

it wouldnt matter so much as the type, the equipment used could be similar, that is for example 'Thales' airspeed indicators

They have 320, 321, 330, 340 AFIK

So the fu(k do I! I'm due to depart on an Aer Lingus flight at 11.20 Irish time. I turned up late for the one I was supposed to be on last Saturday.

Ce sera sera.

The Yemeni Airbus that crashed this morning was an A310. It's a much older model than those used by Aer Lingus or the Air France plane that crashed off Brazil.

Who does the avionics maintenance for Aer Lingus now

[Digout]

They just said on the news that bodies have been found in the sea, this means that the plane must have broken up in the air.
