I'd like to meet the Ryanair Captain who departs over the Placard weight deliberately to do a favour for O'Leary. In the 5 years i've been here i've only ever heard of it happening once and that resulted in a severe reprimand from the Captain concerned and a memo issue from Uncle Ray. Even then it only ever happened because the aircraft had been swapped to a non staffed engineering outstation and was set at 66.9 when it should have been 74.9.
RE: Comments on SAFA checks - they are not allowed to delay the scheduled operation. If they are scratching around in the wheelwell and I have a slot to keep they will be given their marching orders!
