'....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.
I can ONLY base my comments on experience, and fact. I fly from Belfast, therefore the majority of the pax ARE Irish, but not all. AND they ARE bigger and stronger than the petite female cabin crew AND male cabin crew. This is just fact. Not me having a go or disrespecting anybody. I would say the same thing if I flew out of Glasgow, Liverpool or London on a Friday, but I don't. But this is not the matter in hand in this thread.
