Disgraceful stuff really, it is a major news story in the Netherlands at the moment.

I guess no such thing as bad publicity for Mick & Co. however if I or my family were subjected to this level of neglect and negligence I know I'd be suing under health and safety grounds.

Wow, Ryanair's response is to try and take a man to Court for filming the evidence...scambag of a company..

The King of Moo · 21-08-2012 07:36PM

Well I was coming back a few weeks ago through Abu Dhabi, which was practically an oven. The plane was delayed to take off and we all sat at the airport in the plane slowly getting roasted.

Is it common for planes to not turn on the AC when they're on the runway and its hot outside...

Do planes also have ACs? Like I would think they'ld have heaters to keep the inside warm as the temperature outside is usually around -45 and lower when flying...

Crazy Dutch bastards.

Isn't boiling point 100 degrees celsius?
Also do you not need to put the object in a liquid in order to boil?

I flew Aer Lingus from amsterdam and we had A/C on at the gate before takeoff, the cabin was nice and cool. It was hot outside too.

Depends what you are boiling....

Boiling is the rapid vaporization of a liquid, which occurs when a liquid is heated to its boiling point, the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid is equal to the pressure exerted on the liquid by the surrounding environmental pressure

I hope Michael O'Leary makes his kids take Ryanair flights and they suffer the same as that kid in the video.

Mind you he'll probably make them do that as a punishment rather than take their xbox away for a week.

I flew aer lingus from Cork to Amsterdam and when we landed the trolley dolly announced 'welcome to Cork!' Id say the rest of the crew are still taking the piss out of her

Of course there's A/C on a Boeing 737. The airline (for whatever reason) switched it off.

NegativeCreep · 21-08-2012 08:08PM

Why do people still fly with ryanair? It's definitely not worth the cheaper flight!

Because it costs money to run.

I remember reading something before about not being able to run the AC unless the planes engines are running.

This kind of thing has happened with other airlines before.

If the aircraft was at the stand then the engines may not be on and would probably not be able to run the A/C. However if the plane was on the taxiway for example, waiting to fly out then the engines would be on and the plane would be able to run the A/C. I would assume that this Ryanair plane was waiting to fly out and had it's engines on.

Untrue, Airliners have what is called the APU, (Auxiliary Power Unit) basically it is a generator which provides the electricity for running the plane etc. when the plane becomes airborne the power is generated from the Jet engines instead.

Basically it most likely comes down to Ryanair being too mean to run the APU on the plane to provide A/C to their passengers and would rather let them sweat it out rather than burn a few gallons fuel. It might also of course have been faulty. This is the same airline that allows its planes to run with the bare minimum of fuel requirements and saw three of its planes having to declare emergency landings recently in Spain because their planes were running low on fuel after diversions due to bad weather in the area.

Solair · 21-08-2012 08:31PM

Is there no law regarding the maximum temperatures for work-places / indoor public spaces (excluding saunas and steam-rooms obviously)?

Ray Dow · 21-08-2012 08:32PM

Aaaaah Ryanair. Any day now to the big disaster...

Are there any regulations about allowable temperatures for passengers? For example, recommendations for an office environment are that the temperature should be between 16-23 degrees.

Ryanair boils it's Dutch Passengers!!
