Say Mach Number

I think what Tightslot may have been refering to was the fact that Monarch don't treat their passengers like sheep with a mass hearding/scramble to race for a seat when the flight is called at the gate...for one thing. If I had a wife and family, I would prefer it if we all were able to sit together instead of the mass free-for-all.....

Secondly, most of the occasions I have had the "pleasure" of flying with FR, a glance at a safety card that didn't look like it had just been used in the toilet would have been nice.

Thirdly, IMHO, the speed at which I have sat in the rear end and been taxied around, especially arriving into Dublin is certainly verging on the unsafe. Possibility of a catering truck or similar cutting you up, gear stresses through taxiing and increased brake temps for the next sector are just one or two considerations that I think certain FR Captains pay no attention to whilst they are on the gound....maybe just after that on-time bonus I guess....


Do I need to go on...?
