A passenger on a delayed Ryanair flight from London who apparently got fed up waiting to get off a plane after it landed in the southern Spanish city of Malaga surprised fellow passengers by using the emergency exit to jump onto a wing. The incident on New Year's Day took place 30 minutes after the flight from Stansted Airport landed. The man, who has not been named but is said to be a non-Spanish citizen, was coaxed back onto the plane while police were called. Fellow passenger Fernando del Valle Villalobos, who videoed the incident, said he heard the man say he got fed up waiting.

Then there is the other side of the coin. Half of all people have below average intelligence and the airlines have to deal with them all.
I sat on some plane this past summer...actually had pulled up to the ramp and was ready to release passengers....then we waited, and waited, and waited. Must have been 30 minutes before they opened the door and started letting folks off the plane. No explanation.
Two months ago, I got off an international flight, and they had two border-entry guys at the end of the docking ramp, wanting every single passenger to present their passport there. We were backed up and it took probably an hour to unload the 300 passengers.
Assuming that the left half of the bell curve fly’s in equal proportion to the right.
The Great Airplane Strike (of 1966)--Paul Revere & the Raiders
In October, I flew on Ryan Air for the first and last time. Never fly Ryan Air.
I won’t say that I have never been tempted to do that.
I was once on a flight that was delayed for hours due to weather. (You could see the tornado on the runway so the delay was legit.)
The flight deplaned and most of the passengers would be spending an unplanned night in a hotel before getting on a morning flight.
(I missed a funeral)
So, the airline decided that with all that, our flight would be a perfect opportunity to train a new jetway operator. Yea, they were stat stupid.
Flying cattle cars
Hopefully they send him back to Morocco.
“Never fly Ryan Air.”
aren’t they the airline that removed toilets for short flights and wanted to install strap hangers for passengers to stand in the aisles?
MY experience is the left hand side flies far more than the right and they are always next to my seat.
“I flew on Ryan Air for the first and last time. Never fly Ryan Air.”
Ryan Air is ok as a shuttle for quick trips around Europe. I’ve used them quite often. You are herded like cattle, walk across the tarmac and up stirs to board, No assigned seats.
Everything is extra fee. They were even discussing charging for rest room use a few years ago.
Cheap prices was an understatement. Taxi fares are higher than their fares. Dublin Ireland is their hub, and I like Dublin. Used to visit the Temple Bar District for good beer.
Ryan Air was super efficient and on time. Thirty minutes from landing, unloading, loading and take off.
That's the way I feel. I love the flying part but the TSA thing is a deal breaker. Thieves, Stealers & Assaulters.
On my Ryan Air flight, the flight attendants treated the passengers like trash. There are plenty of other budget airlines in Europe to choose from.
If it was yours then that was a good thing......:)
Yep, I miss the flying part too.
Most of my memories of airline flights are when it was still a semi-big big deal to jet off somewhere . . .
I don’t see it. Like Freepers that still watch the NFL all talk, same with people complaining about airlines and Airport security. A two week slow down boycott of air travel and the airlines would be begging for forgiveness and working on real solutions their margins are such that even such a short slow down would crimp them.
Agree. I last flew 7 years ago. In the middle of the night, the crew decided it'd be great to wake us to play pass the toilet paper roll and other silly games.
