First of all, I find Ryanair to be a very acceptable and fair airline, and deffinataly will be flying with them in the near future, infact booked for 9th May with a return on 10th May
The only thing is, im slightly worried about a certain pilot that has just flown me from Reus to Stansted! - The seatbelt sign in all fairness should have been kept on upon departure from Reus as it was fairly bumpy, I've been on flights with less turbulence and it was kept on.. But never the less, the seatbelt sign was turned off and we could move about the cabin.
So about half way into the flight, the weather decides to make our flight more intresting and add some pretty bad turbulence, when I say pretty bad I mean I saw someone fall over.. Expecting the seatbelt sign to come on, I quickly made my way back to my seat.. Guess what? - No seatbelt sign, this continued for 15 minutes or more, surely with turbulence enough to make someone fall over the seatbelt sign should have been on?
Never the less, the flight continued, the pilot came on and I couldn't understand a word he said, proberbly wasnt speaking english.. I managed to pick up "stansted 30 minutes decending now" Once again, expecting the seatbelt sign to come on shortly I was preparing for landing by stowing my bag etc.. So we decend, I see Heathrow and start getting confused, now im not sure how low you fly to land at Stansted when flying near Heathrow, but I'd guess not much more than 7000ft? - Even more worrying, is we where still decending with the seatbelt sign OFF. So 15 minutes pass, and we turn for the final approach.. The seatbelt sign is still off, so I finally ask the cabin crew what the hell he is playing it, with what the seatbelt sign comes on.. Yes, ON FINALS..
Surely thats not safe? Perhaps they forgot, but it's mentioned in the decent check list is it not?
Can anyone enlighten me to the "rules" if you like about when the seatbelt sign should be turned on by the crew in the pointy end.
Thanks,
Adam.
