What a great idea!
Get a load of willing charity types to drag your aeroplane out to the runway, start the engines and off you go.
Saves you the taxi fuel dosn't it.

If Michael O'leary finds out about this he'll be employing every unemployed munter in the EU to drag his ships out to the runway to save a git of go-go juice!:) :ok:
That or he'll expect the crew to do it:eek:
