Just a quick aside on this argument, does anyone think these idiots would have reacted like this were it not for the Airline TV programme. Surely watching this week in week out makes people think that crew are there to be defied and argued with. The Reeds staff they argue with wear the EZY uniform so perhaps they think they can get away with it or get their way.
Kalium, would disagree on one point. The captain is there to put the airline convenience before passengers in my view. Obviously safety first but by getting the CDG pax away it would have prevented a refund situation occuring for 2 sets of pax, the ones on the original tech flight and the ones waiting at CDG for their flight. Obviously it was a terrible situation to be placed in but had they gone quietly EZY would not have the potential to be paying out 300 refunds. The pax going to UK would only have been delayed an hour apparently.
