Particular credit to a B732 flight from Dublin to Doncaster which was thrown down on runway 20 with the usual positive enthusiasm, and braked so hard everyone moved forward a row of seats. Managed to stop quickly enough to turn straight onto taxiway C and save a few minutes. Passengers (and brakes by the sound of it) not over impressed. We did wonder if it was done for a bet ...
It is funny to read these comments.
Perhaps if you read CAP413 and understood that an aircraft does not choose which exit from the runway but is given one then you may realise it is not a Ryanair thing ! It maybe they were given options and if they did not make the earlier exit then they would have been delayed behind other traffic.
Whatever the choice was they would be doing it in a safe manner - if the choice was to brake hard and exit or be stuck behind another aircraft waiting to get onto the gate what would you prefer ?
It seems everyone wants to second guess what is going on - whereby those guys in the pointy end are the only ones in the know. Perhaps you would prefer a nice gentle roll out and to sit behind awaiting traffic for half an hour but at the end of the day the pilots are part of a business and will work towards that.
I would personally say if your going to put your life in the hands of a crew for the xxx hours of the flight proceeding landing then at least trust them to do the best on landing - if they exit early it may not just be to get to the gate early cause they want a beer but because there is a very good reason to - the fact your not made aware why is just one of those things you have to live with as a passenger.
