Tossing coins in the engine for good luck.

Someone needs to educate this idiot woman to the dangers of FOD (”Foreign Object Damage”) to jet engines and to the flight in general.

I used to occasionally change planes at some airport in the US and could often read through an open hangar door the words ‘it must be FOD free’ on the inside opposite wall. Thank you. Finally I know what that means :) I cannot recall what airport though...

I believe the correct pronunciation is “Rucky”.

Passengers are bussed out to planes for local flights. That is correct.

Back in the early ‘80’s I flew into Zurich from Amsterdam. The 737 parked on the tarmac and were met by a passenger bus.
