I have also had the very very fast safety demo, on a BHX-DUB flight, by a crew of three who were unbelievably miserable. I couldn't follow it, but thankfully I'm reasonably familiar with the 737-200. Same as the experience above, the return crew were very pleasant an seemed interested in their jobs.
As a punter I do not expect the fake smiles etc etc that some airlines feel the need to convey, but common courtesy costs nothing. Hell, if the poor CC have to say hello to 150 punters, the least I can do is return the greeting!
I also find the stampede for the free seating all very silly, and very offputting.
I did respect MOL but I think the costcutting/minimal staff levels (not to mention the new pilot paying to apply process) has gone too far. The FR/MOL bubble will burst.
Long may Babs and Stelios have a 1,000 737s each and rule the (European) airways <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
