    No Morgana: I think not. More importantly, neither does His Honour Judge Platts.

    morgana, perhaps tell TC you know all about Wallentin Hermann, Huzar and Judge Platts and can they just pop a cheque in the post please.

    Here's a link to Huzar http://www.scribd.com/doc/179933236/Jet2-appeal

    Hi we were on this flight from Manchester on 14/9 and suffered a 16 hr delay due to oven overheating, this involved an emergency landing at East Midlands. Tried to claim and got standard reply of EC. However the reason given at the time by the pilot was he had run out of hours to continue the flight and a crew member had discharged a fire extinguisher and needed medical attention, therefore new crew could not be found. Is this worth continuing with?

    The fire crews boarded the plane and the offending oven was removed making the plane safe.The reason we didn't continue to fly was because 2 of the crew were taken off in an ambulance after discharging a fire extinguisher in the galley, by the time this was sorted the crew were over their hours and another pilot and crew could not be sourced. here lies Thomas cooks error, Surely?

    ....yes, seems a lack of reasonable measures on TC's part.

    I've just got back from court having agreed compensation with TC. This case is 4 years old. They sent a barrister, employee, engineer and two observers. The Judge supplied us all with the Huzar prior to going in. He told TC there was noway he would go against that decision pointing to paragraph 27. TC said that due to Airbus being called out there may be an issue over that. We discussed it outside and I got £1040 including costs. I probably should have gone for the lot but looking at previous cases appeals etc I wanted a quick resolution.
