One wonders....was this a possible slow-down by the crew concerned to 'teach the company a lesson?'
Whatever the reason, it is not to the PAX to be booing or whatever when the crew showes up.
This is not a themepark's rollercoaster ride, nor a rockconcert or a beer tent.
It is going blasting through the stratosphere close to the speed of sound in a little tin foil, mostly filled with kerosine.
Good choice of that crew...
