I knew about this because I have a friend that used to train BA crew and left on a big pay rise to work for Ryanair (after being head hunted by FR) she found the whole organisation and the crew they recruited so lacking she came back to BA
I hate to tell you... I told you so....
I apologise for grammar due to jet lag and 3 glasses of wine ... hic!
Looby Loo - worry not about your grammar - at least you know when it's lapsed unlikemany others! DId this person happen to be at LGW at some point, as I have heard a similar story and wonder if it is the same one.
What I did hear last year was a story about one of our number who happened to be on a Ryanair flight to somewhere that no one else flew to. Apparently there was an inflight emergency as there was concern that the landing gear would not lock. The cabin crew panicked - went completely to pieces from what I was told. In the end, our girl got up and yelled "I am British Airways Cabin Crew - if you do as I say I'll get you all out alive".The passengers were so relieved and she just took charge. The aircraft landed safely - but the crew were out of it completely. Our colleague was told by everyone that once they knew that she was they knoew that they had a chance as British Airways was reputable. I have no coroborration of this story
(probably mis-spelt) - but this was long before all this.
Ultimately the word is reputable. Would we call Ryanair reputable?
