This is totally off-topic but is a quote from the link @post 11:
the crew checked under the seat they were sat in, the seat in front, dropped down each of the tray tables then removed the seat cushions to check underneath.
"They're looking for something" said one passenger
The point being that we really shouldn't underestimate our paying customers...
And what tray tables are those, then? Subbing out again mick?
Anyhow...
RYR is the only company I know that requires crew to take up station as RF supervisor, therefore going single-crew for most of an already rushed 25 minute turn round. Do they not pay the professionals enough to do their job properly? have I just answered my own question?
