That was a different issue, as you stated an issue of aircraft/airport compatibility - and was, arguably, the "wrong plane" for the flight. In this case, no issue with the aircraft and airport, just a different aircraft type than normally on the route, so crewing the return leg was the issue, requiring either a pre-positioned crew or a cancelled return flight.
The question is why did they send a different type on that rotation? TR ---------------------------------------- *From: *Robert S.
