ARBUST again not AIRBUST .... hydraulic lines .. exactly what happened to me .... and my first ARBUST flight Air New Zealand A320 flight .. the still has never happened on any other type - Boeing i'm going
"they often spray like shrapnel and cause severe damage to fuel lines, electrical cables, hydraulic lines and other critical aircraft systems. "
Come to think , the other ARBUST crash out experience - one outta Java and one outta KL ... this is not an impressive strike rate ! .. X's3 for me .

Haha they hardly keep flying on two engines, let alone one!

Tim , strange how the ground staff and the engineers and the pilots wanted nothing of them but force to fly cos we buy policy !

Spirit Air eh? Haven't they had a few incidents in the past years? Mind you, they are ultra cheap, and charge you out the donkey for "Services" which most airlines offer for free.

How is it an Airbus fault? Probably wiser to point fingers at the engine manufacturer (IAE)?

Or even that maintenance crews in the region , well know with that infamous airline GARUDA having aircraft turn up at other engineering facilities and regular check/access panels have not been opened since brand new ... this was one of my strike 1 s ... to add that my brother had a forget this airline, and it was an Airbus but a 310 .

I know your going to hate me Ian but after reading QF32 I have a little more faith in Airbus. That thing shredded itself and it still flew. However this only extends to reputable airlines where you know what qualifications the crew hold.

Well that's true ... SILK airlines a few years back , aircrew arguing how they are going to land - having a b1tch fight .. come into land doing twice the speed , that was caught on airport cameras and went off the end of the runway destroying the 737 ... fortunately it killed that crew !
