    So Ryanair are going to reduce the amount of cabin crew from 4 to 2 but I was wondering what safety implementations this would have. What if there was an emergency and a plane was about to make a crash landing. Who's going to help the passengers get out? 2 cabin crew would seem to little to help a hundred and something passengers. Or what if the plane was about to be hijacked, would two cabin crew be able to overcome a terrorist?

    I think this only shows how much Ryanair put profit over the safety of the passengers.

    You'd get more personality from a vending machine than you would with those cold heartless cabin crew monsters.

    Would 4 cabin crew stop a terrorist?

    I wish people wouldn't make jokes like this about Ryanair.

    You never know what they'll hear about, and actually decide they might charge for.

    Like the charging to use the toilet fiasco before.

    I'm sure they would use less staff if the safety regulations would allow it.
    And probably sell priority disembarking in the event of an emergency, too.

    Bloke was sitting on a barstool, drinking a pint, at Heathrow airport, when a really beautiful woman sat down next to him. Bloke thought to himself, "Wow, she's so gorgeous, she must be a flight attendant, but which airline does she work for?"

    Being a bit of a know-all and hoping to pick her up, he leaned towards her and uttered the Delta slogan, "Love to fly and it shows?"

    She gave him a blank, confused stare, and bloke immediately thought to himself, "Damn, she doesn't work for Delta".

    A moment later, another slogan popped into his head. He leaned towards her again, "Something special in the air?"

    She gave him the same confused look.

    He mentally kicked himself and scratched Singapore Airlines off the list.Next he tried the Thai Airways slogan, "Smooth as silk".

    This time the woman turned on him, "What the f*** do you want?"

    Bloke smiled, and said, "Ah, Ryanair!"
