I flew Ryan a coupla months ago outa DUB and the whole operation was very slick and to my liking. So slick in fact that the Captain forgot to do the pax announcement until we were about to line up on the runway and even then it was:
"Morning ladies and gents, we have clearance for take off so are gonna go straight away. Weather in STN is the same as it is here. Cheers"
Good ole customer service eh!
Personally I couldn't have given a monkeys about that but I bet the
PR dept would be up in arms over it. As for the taxiing, approach and shutting down before stopping bizzo....... I never noticed but that's not to say they didn't of course but is there really an issue anyway if it's all within regs?
VFE.
