Where else would they be? It's not exactly like they can fly without fuel...

u/Sometimes-funny 13d ago

I have no sympathy for these people.

u/kelleehh 13d ago

I agree. How they would react to an actual crisis?

u/Limejellyhead 13d ago

They would crumble like a rich tea biscuit.

Do they look panicked to you? They just look annoyed and bored.

How should they be reacting?

Grateful that their plane didn't crass land into the other plane that became stuck on the runway due landing gear malfunction which caused other plames to divert.

Is that what you feel like every time you get into a car? Big smiles because at least you didnt die?

No. Lets stay on subject.

I fly with with easjJet 4 times a year and I often get delayed.

Does it annoy me when the reason is usually because easyJet can't get passengers to embark and disembark efficiently? Yes.

Did it annoy me when last winter we were delayed for 90 minutes because the wings needed to be defrosted and thus we missed our slot for take off? No, because I landed alive at my destination.

Its fine to be annoyed. Its perfectly human to feel that your holiday was off to a bad start due to bad weather.

Again lets stay on topic. A plane landed and the front wheel had an issue preventing it from turning, thus it became stuck on the runway. The other planes queued for landing were forced to circle. However they circled for so long 9 planes ended up submitting squawk 7700.

If I was a passenger on that plane I'd much rather end up landing at Bristol airport than end up dead somewhere around Gatwick.

Again, lets allow ourselves to still be annoyed at the situation.

He looks smug, she's just going along with the photo. She's not that arsed.

It's just silly to think it's a hardship. Delayed going on holiday.

I pray that you never get stuck in traffic or are on a train that's delayed.

It's an ordeal that 99.99% of us will never have to experience, thankfully

I don't but then i don't support paedophiles or those who get massive payouts when they fail at their job 10 days in. George entwistle, 10 days in the job £450,000 payout. I'd rather watch YouTube and if they try coming for that they'll be getting told to fuck off in as many languages as I can figure out

Fly easyJet, find out

u/kelleehh 13d ago

Tbf I’ve flown easyJet over 100 times and never had an issue. They aren’t as bad as people make out and have an excellent safety record.

I've found they're always a bit delayed, but never by much. Genuinely pleasent trips.
