EI-RJT diverts to Gatwick

Today's CityJet flight BCY 82K operated by RJ85 EI-RJT diverted to London Gatwick after smoke was reported in the cockpit. The aircraft with 24 passengers and 4 crew was over the English Channel when the incident occurred, prompting the aircraft to divert. Passengers have been accommodated on this evening's Ryanair Gatwick-Shannon service.

I was on that flight. It would have been nice if we had "been accomodated" by transferring to the Ryanair flight to Shannon, however actually we ser shipped off to Dublin and stuck on a bus. Grrrrr....

24 passengers? Doesn't sound good for load factors! Wonder if this route is proving popular since the re-starting of the Heathrow service.
