Yes, I agree. I came into STN on a Ryanair flight in February, and the guy was taxi-ing as if it were Brands Hatch. He also used the reverse thrust to slow down during taxi-ing and again on the actual apron just before turning to the stand. 50 mph on the taxi-way perhaps ?
What with the stories about flying over 250 kt under FL 100, and the hectic pace of turn-arounds in general, I am beginning to wonder whether we have an accident waiting to happen with some of these low-cost no-frills operations.....
