How can RYR be 'the safest airline in the world' when the management advise the Captain not to evacuate in the future because the warning turned out to be spurious?

maxred... "News also coming in that a call centre operation has been inundated.
That is the 'no win no fee' legal helpline "
Don't tell me the UK is as bad as the USA when it comes to lawsuits?

<<We were careering up the runway and smoke started belting out of all the air vents with a smouldering smell. >>
Presumably a professional eye witness? I'm familiar with most take-off techniques but "careering" is new on me...

Well nobody knows the real cause of this incident yet, but in view of previous similar incidents surely (shirley?) a first step would be a basic re-design of passenger aircraft cabin air circulation?
In other words stop using engine bleed air for this purpose.

I think Mr Boeing disagrees with the last poster, as that is exactly how the 787 is pressurised.

after building thousands of others that use bleed air - sounds like its beginning to sink in that it may not be a brilliant idea then

"One or two passengers, including myself, had our reading light on and when I looked up to the lamps and the ceiling, I could actually see smoke swirling around and I thought, oops, there's something not right here."
