No criticism? How about
:
this was bloody quick
or
this was way past 20% before turning onto the runway
together with
it was a Ryanair flight that was tight on time
Nicky, I don't have a KLM gold card, but I am a commercial pilot. When I'm sat in the back, I couldn't tell you what the throttle position is (or PLA, if you really want to impress your mates) - and I fly the things. What I do notice when travelling in the back is that a few pax feel qualified to pass comment on the crew's abilities, presumably by virtue of their FF status. The more I fly commercially, the more I realise how little I knew as a PPL, let alone as a passenger.
To be absolutely clear, you cannot judge from the back what they were doing up front.
Nobody - Ryanair or anyone else - is going to apply 'way past 20%' before turning onto the runway. It don't happen. What you experienced was routine - sorry if you don't like the answer, but that's what you're going to get from professional pilots on a professional pilots' website.
