That’s certainly going to the extreme to avoid paying for a ticket.

“Sir- it’s going to be cold up there.  And a bit windy.  You probably should wear a hat”

cleared for take off

Yeah, I’m a little salty about what these guys are doing to London.

This seems like a perfect, “Oh, hell, now I’m curious what WOULD happen.” moment for the beleaguered airport and airline officials...

“Cleared to Taxi Runway 9-er. Pre-clearance to take-off.  Contact London Centre Departure Control. Good day!”

I’d just pretend he isn’t there and go ahead and fly the plane.

eh...I get what these guys are doing...and if it works I guess they were right to go about it as they are

but at the end of the day..as I see it...if you glue yourself to a plane... you've made peace with the possibility someone might call your bluff

This is what people are forced to do so they can get extra legroom.

You just get the sense they haven’t completely thought things through.

I’m still blinking from the Red Dye video the other day... These guys must have had a finely orchestrated plan.... right up until the equipment fails (which they clearly did not anticipate)... afterwards they appear to have no clue how to idle back the pumps or even get it under control. Seeing them attempt to pick up the HIGHLY dangerous hose end as it writhed violently around in the goo? Just made me think, “Man, these guys haven’t a basic clue about how to run the diesel equipment they drove in The City.... How am I supposed to believe they have a handle on anything?”

Too much drag

I think that’s just a side effect of having the time to protest and get arrested

the capable ones are stuck at work they cant afford to lose

Probably.

This is where I think the Internet finally causes civilization to implode— It certainly can get people really, really frothed up and anxious about things. To the point they do crazy, nutty stuff.  Enough people doing enough crazy stunts?  There has to be a tipping point.

Removing him had to hurt, but was probably satisfying for the responders.

For a little while, at least.

Oh great, something funny to read.  Even reddit is being a downer today.

Oh, The Extinction Rebellion  group.  Same group that stopped a lady WHO WAS RIDING HER BIKE because she didn’t take a bus.

Serious question, if they depressurized cabins, basically flying unfu rnished husks (providing ox. masks) for super cheap...do you think people would go for it?

I would hope that there would be some level to which the flying public would refuse to drop. But you can never discount anybody’s desire to save a few bucks.

“Hi Boeing?

Can we get some new planes, but don’t bother with carpet, paint, overheads or washrooms”

Carrying enough oxygen for everyone would be ludicrously expensive.
