  14. Re:Yawn on Airline to Offer In-Flight Adult Movies · · Score: 1

    I am an Irish person, and until recently flew with RA, until they forbid the use of the emergency aisle unless you had paid extra in advance (ie, the seat would go unused if unbooked).

    MOL has been crapping on his customers more recently of late and will start losing even more if he keeps it up. I hope that even the suggestion of this drives people away.

    There's no telling anymore if he cares for anything more than making more money at the expense of his customer base. This could very well happen.

    You run about chattin to Sheila's, showing them a good time, and walking them home in the evening, you know to make sure they get home safe. Then you borrow mike's car and drive it over to mike's bar where you meet up with mike and mike for a few brews before heading over to mike's diner for a bite to eat. Then you return mike's car (remembering to fill it up along the way) then walk back home for a good nights sleep.

  21. Re:And now after the press release. on Boeing 787 Dreamliner Makes First Passenger Flight · · Score: 1

    I recently flew from Dublin to Gatwick and back with Ryanair, and was last on the plane. The emergency rows were empty and when I asked to sit there I was told "Sorry, but they are reserved"

    I looked about and pointed out to the steward that there didn't seem to be anyone else coming, and asked who they figured the seats were reserved for.

    "If the reserved seats are not sold, then they won't be used"

    I didn't want to make a scene, so I sat in my none to comfortable seat, but inside I wanted to have a discussion about the meaning of the word 'reserved'

    On the other hand, I flew with Wizzair from Warsaw to Rome in September, and faced with the exact same scenario (I always wait until last to embark, I don't like standing in queues) I asked the steward if I could sit there. He said fine, but if someone comes with a ticket for the longer legroom seats, I'd have to move.

    Guess which Airliner I'm going to be avoiding as much as possible from now on?

    Like a poster said above, we have relinquished so much of out voice to these companies, in our search for cheaper flights. It might be time for us to vote with our wallets again, flying with people who treat their customers with dignity and respect, instead of just seeing them as someone to squeeze money from.

    (BTW, never go on a Ryanair flight expecting to get some sleep, as you are constantly wakened up by their PA system advertising scratch cards or some other merchandise)
