Slightly OT yet still related to LOT's crew. I was on one of my usual WAW-GDN flights recently, significantly late for delayed arrival of incoming aircraft to Warsaw (yes, of course, the plane i.e. Ptasie Mleczko had arrived an hour earlier...) and, once everyone was comfortably on-board and with the noisy Dash literally just about to move from the remote stand, the captain turns the engines off. After a good 20-minutes' wait, a mechanic appears on board to repair something (apparently, a seat) and a chap sitting not far from me starts complaining to the crew ("I fly this route 2/3 times a week and we're late 99% of the time"), to which the young lady (FA) went (quite abruptly, in Polish): "Sir, I also want to get to Gdańsk as soon as possible and also note that Ryanair fly to Gdańsk as well" (which, by the way, is no longer the case...). LOL.
