I totally agree with the comments about the ground staff. All to often I have received pax at the aircraft unfit to travel (usually through drink) They should never have been allowed to proceed this far leaving humiliation and embarrassment for the people who have to offload them, resulting in delays whilst their baggage is removed and distress to the crew and the other passengers.
If this boy had been adequately insured, his policy would have repatriated him in a safe and comfortable manner.
Much as I cannot condone the attitude of the crew, this just seems to be another press pop at the low cost carriers. The less people pay for their flights, the more they seem to expect.
