I responded to your earlier post and my contribution suffered the same fate. Not for the first time recently. Curious.

Well, one of them is Christopher Hohn who reputedly is worth 1,2 billion and directly gave £50,000 to the extinction people. Via a charity in which he is involved, he donated a further £150,000 to this same bunch of anarchists. He is reported as saying that he provided this cash "because humanity is aggressively destroying the world with climate change and there is an urgent need for us all to wake up to this fact". His money could have been more wisely spent.
Like the bulk of those engaged in this spurious exercise, he concerns himself with the consequences of human action, not the principal causal factor which is world overpopulation.

I am very curious about something. Regardless of whether he bought a ticket or not, but how the hell does anyone (visually, physically impaired or fully able bodied) get onto the top of a plane?
A maintenance scaffold I can understand, even a crane. But to walk up to the door of an airliner either on a gantry or air bridge or steps .., how DO you get from there to the top of the fuselage without either some serious assistance, gymnastics or other equipment?

Wether they are employed or not is maybe harder to tell, that they are unemployable is quite self evident IMHO. Unless you are in the anarchy business, then these people are just what you should be looking for.

short flights long nights
Just follow him until he gets into his car, makes a phone call, turns the lights on in his house... you get the idea ...

They should have just gone ahead with the flight with him glued to the plane. These people are challenged. If they feel so strongly about the subject, why don't they go plant trees in the Sahara desert, or go protest in China, or tell dicaprio and associates (who pay lip service to "climate change") to stop using their private jets, yachts and other CO2 toys?

Provided you have stairs up to one of the pax/service doors.
As I mentioned in my previous post, it's probably best not to go into detail on a public forum. We don't want to be giving the idiots any additional info.

He's already out of jail.
From The Evening Standard:
A former Paralympic cyclist has denied climbing on to a British Airways plane and gluing himself to it during the
Extinction Rebellion protests.
James Brown, who is visually impaired, is accused of causing a public nuisance by climbing on top of the aircraft at London City Airport on Thursday.The 55-year-old appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Saturday where a not guilty plea was entered on his behalf by his solicitor Raj Chada.
District judge John Zani granted him conditional bail, prohibiting him from going within one mile of any airport in the UK.
