Reality of life boys and girls. You pay peanuts, you get monkeys. I hate to say this, but the airlines have been under too much pressure for too much time and shortcuts are the result. Now it is the cabin crew, maybe next the flight crew or something more scarely like maintenance. Like the original poster said the 20 gbp fair was most welcome, but did he realize that that was half the price of the bus fare. So why is that? Do you really think we can get the maximum safety for 20 gbp. Safety has a price ladies and gentleman. I for one am willing to pay it, are you?
There is a term in aviation called ¨tombstone technology¨, basically meaning something really bad has to happen before a change is made. We are just waiting for it aren´t we? It´s not too late but certainly close before midnight...
