Anyone heard why 759 from ATH today is diverting to BOS?

Operational necessity.

I'm not a pilot, so I'm not verse in the technical lingo, but the aircraft experienced some pressurization issues enroute to ATH this AM. The system was reset by maintenance in ATH, and they originally said that the a/c, crew and passengers would fly to DUB to verify that the a/c was ETOPS fit to fly on to Philly. Why the ATHDUB routing was changed to ATHBOS I cannot say, but is a good question.

Thanks ebwgs. Looks like diversion is cancelled and flight landing in PHL...just late.

Oh thank God! I was glued to CNN Headline News all day, chewing my fingernails to the nub in worry over this flight!

Whew! Close one.

No problem. I'm glad they were able to fly it home non-stop. That would've been one long hellacious day for everyone involved if they had to go through DUB or BOS.
