Yes it does... thanks. The problem is that in a challenge/response environment, the action in some cases, rarely thank goodness, is not backed up by a visual check before the response.
Ryanair is not unique to this, nor is the aviation industry for that matter either.

At one remote airfield I use regularly the outbound passengers are actually standing in line (not sitting) at apron level just 20 metres from the nose before the aircraft arrives. All 189 passports are already checked. They are just waiting for the door to the apron to be opened. It is then just 8 minutes from the time first inbound pax set foot on terra firma to first outbound set foot on stairs. I can almost set my watch by it, every time. Must be a hell of a pressure on the crew. I have never made eye contact with anyone in the cockpit at the remote airfield end - they are almost always head down and tasked up especially if it is the last sector of the day.
