Fairly New JetBlue Airbus A321LR Diverts Twice Due To Technical Issue

[@dennissalisbury496]

Now, if only Big Pharma maintained the same level of concern for its customers' safety.

[@grambo4436]

You're asking the wrong questions here. How did big Pharma get for what it is, What allowed these pharmaceutical firms that have been so monopolized and let alone immune, What kind of force that has lobbied, subsidies and had connections too?.....Goverment!!!

[@hewhohasnoidentity4377]

Not just the fuel quantity indicator but the management and distribution system. Running out of fuel is only one risk. The main issue is not being able to keep the weight balanced by moving the fuel between tanks.

[@Michael_K_Woods]

Faulty sensors can be tricky to diagnose, often because there are several sensors for the same instrument.

[@wadehiggins1114]

Safety first 👍🏿

[@Charles-sn7zy]

Sure... little wee one.. And if we're a Boeing aircraft, we wouldn't hear the end of it. Freakin kids

[@thefuturefrontierpilot75]

I wonder where this mentality is when Boeing has these issues

[@industrialist2002]

It's always better to arrive late than never. Regardless of airline or aircraft, safety for others should always be more important than profits.

[@JeffreyBue_imtxsmoke]

Yeah... if you don't know how much gas you have in the tank, best to be safe rather than sorry.

[@kbhasi]

Yep, better to be safe than sorry, otherwise, more lives could've been lost. I do remember an episode of Mayday (or Air Crash Investigation) where a plane crashed due to an incorrect fuel gauge (intended for a different aircraft model) having been installed which then indicated there was still fuel when there wasn't.

The difference you are hearing might be due to our voice guy traveling and using his travel equipment to make recordings.

[@Tina-d8f]

Reasonable action to take.

[@平和-v1z]

Spot on coverage!

[@seagullsbtn]

Stuff happens. Divert and rebook was needed first time to Shannon. Air Lingus has plenty of US flights.

[@grandnagus5851]

If i don't have any idea of how much fuel i have left, i know i don't have enough, by default, so safety first should be the fallback strategy. Hence it's 100% the right choice, in both cases, to return and divert.

[@richardshiggins704]

Better safe than sorry than having a repeat of the Air Canada Gimli glider incident into Reykjavik or elsewhere .

[@Croz89]

I mean, it's not like JetBlue had a choice, they are legally obligated to put passengers on the next available filght after a certain length of delay from the EU. And I can imagine since Paris and Dublin to New York are both popular routes there were quite a few spare seats available on legacy airlines.

[@ap9970]

"That warning light is on again" "Humm, they said it was fixed. We better go back" "You think we should try a different airport this time? Just in case the person that 'fixed it' last is working today" "Go point, I've always wanted to visit Dublin"

[@daverudnick2153]

Should be covered by manufacturer's warranty...one year parts, labor right?

[@sundragon7703]

Do frequent flyer miles accumulate when a plane is turned back?

[@tomstravels520]

At least it was for the same issue and not 2 different faults. Means it could have been maintenance missed something

[@Inflight777]

What happened to the old voice?

[@nowee_playzz4931]

Not to sure how this happens on a 10 month old baby! Airbus better check the rest of their LR’s before airlines receive them!

[@done-ahhh578]

That diversion was intentional on the second time. Well intentional meaning they chose Dublin because they’ve got a partnership with Aer Lingus. Would’ve been easier to rebook them on Dublin to JFK flights with Aer Lingus to secure any tickets from Air France.

[@FirstLast_Nba]

This is the worse EVER!! worse than a 737 diving into the ground.

[@AntTheMant]

finally not a Boeing problem

[@ewancameron6976]

I was plane spotting at Edinburgh today and a Jet Blue A321 Neo had an aborted takeoff and after about 20 minutes went onto a remote stand and de-boarded.

[@КостянтинЗазимко]

Fuel shortages issue

[@Will_3rd]

Maybe try this aircraft on some overland routes first?

[@xiiivaniix]

It would still Divert overland also. So it wouldn’t make much of a difference.

[@Mark-uh7cr]

What? An Airbus with an issue?

[@thefuturefrontierpilot75]

It's so crazy to me that everyone is praising JetBlue, the pilots, and Airbus. Because if this was a 737 Max, everyone would be losing their damn minds. And doesn't anyone else find it strange how the news failed to cover this? Sure wouldn't be the case if it were a Boeing aircraft

[@chucky6187]

Ahahaha...imagine if it is Boeing...people will go crazy

[@bahaviation2070]

[@ryanlittleton5615]

"A Jetblue *BOEING* PLANE diverted TWICE...."

[@angelorobel12]

Yep, it's because of bias and the fanbase rivalry between Boeing and Airbus.

[@eamonahern7495]

An issue with a new Airbus instead of a Boeing. 🤔

[@jasonblonco9103]

Blame boeing 😂😂😂

[@rayrodriguez2525]

I am sorry, but these small twin engine airbuses, even if they are designared 'LR' are not meant for trans atlantic crossings, especially westbound. However, airlines want to save money and make their stockholders happy at the expense of passenger comfort and safety. I will never fly on Jetblue to/from Europe when I can fly on a real trans atlantic airline with wide body aircraft that has the full range capacity required.

[@Transportguy2211]

Watch this happen to a Boeing plane and everyone is going to blame is going to blame Boeing 😂

[@stevepickering1819]

[@johnmoloney5296]

Diverted to France and Dublin when Shannon or cork airports were far nearer on both occasions, would have been much safer to choose one of those two airports

[@luisartiach1970]

Much safer? They weren’t completely sure how much fuel they had, but still knew the whereabouts of how much fuel they did have. And the aircraft has a significantly lower maximum landing weight compared to the maximum takeoff weight to which they were close on departure. So Paris was the best destination for the passengers seeing that the aircraft was not in imminent danger, and for Dublin maybe they had more maintenance and spare parts over there.

[@milantehrandubai]

Terrible

[@neilneil1652]

I think anybody booking tickets for pond crossings on narrow body jets, needs their heads examined...

[@ScepticGinger89]

Yeah maybe, on the other hand, I've crossed the pond on a BA 747 and I don't think it can get more uncomfortable than the sardine can that was their economy class.

[@rtbrtb_dutchy4183]

That’s because you are misinformed.

[@jerry2357]

I've flown across the Atlantic on 757s quite a few times, with no problems. But the 757s were built when engineers were in charge at Boeing.

[@gpaull2]

New planes commonly have bugs to work out. This is normal.

[@jasperlionelhagen3507]

I actually was on this aorcraft twice. The Menu was alwys delicious. But after the incedents Jet Blue sold the aircraft to southwest for 50 000 danish crons I guess. But I have to check on it again guys. You will hear from me tomorrow again ;-)
