If I was TUI senior management I would be congratulating the crew, standing up to the media and, while accepting that the CAA might have to ask some questions, tell them to get back in their box in the politest of ways.
gets my vote, Too many posters here trying to find all sorts of reasons to hang the crew/operator. Many times i have had to position in a jump seat and i had a business class standby seat. So you have to move a little to let the crew get on with their job, so what! Usually only for a few minutes anyway. Also had many family members / companions in jump seats over the years (38 of them). Just a shame we are not allowed to use the flight deck seats anymore. Another PC correctness gone mad. There are many aircraft with bars and lots of pax standing. Storm in a teacup!
