I think that from a passengers point of view, there was very little to get excited about. They know that they're going to be treated as cattle on low cost flights, but they don't care because it's cheap. Re cabin crew falling asleep - they don't see that as a saftey issue at all. Just a delay in drinks service. The same with slide problems or missing life jackets - they all assume that any crash means 100% fatalities (that's why they don't watch the safety briefing).

One thing that was shown was that Ryanair will cancel services for safety reasons and that flight crew only 'work' 900 hours pa. For most pax, safety means working planes and well trained pilots. There was nothing in last nights show for them to get excited about. In fact, I've just had a look in today's Sun and can't find any reference to last night's programme.
