"Some of the stewardesses were up the back in tears and kept moving past passengers to look at the engines...and I think that worried some people."
From what I've seen lately, this assertion appears entirely plausible.
Just wait till the new low time PILOTS get on board after spending mummy and daddies coin to get a job. No merit based system here. No Sir, the bright young aspirants will be relegated by spoilt brats with the entitlement mantra. The paying public shall then not be surprised when the sh#t hits the fan, the
low time brat sitting up the front bursts into tears!! Which of course is entirely plausible.
