'....and I can't see 3 or 4 little female cabin crew manhandling drunken irish types....'
Is the use of the word Irish really necessary here? Is it easier for 'three or four little female cabin crew' to 'manhandle' drunken scottish, english or welsh 'types' as opposed to intoxicated people from the Emerald Isle?
I'm sorry but I feel the above quote is vaguely sexist and more than vaguely racist.
The truth of the matter is drunken passengers are a problem for airline crews whether they originate in Belfast, Glasgow, Cardiff or London.
Nor is easyJet the only offender.
Several years ago my wife and I went on holiday to Corfu from Gatwick Airport with what was then Britannia.
One woman and her husband had consumed so much alcohol they had to use one of the little transporters which run up and down between the departure lounge and the gates to get to the aircraft.
They staggered on board - the woman was particularly legless - and a member of the cabin crew did ask the pilot to speak to them.
He appeared to decide it was fine for them to fly and off we went.
