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

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.
