While starting his descent from 37000 an 18 month old toddler was allowed to wonder up and down the aircraft.You don't have to be a genius to work out what would happen to that child if there was a loss of cabin pressure.
I have no problem with the priority passengers thing.They pay a few quid more and are allowed on first,but when two priority passengers arrive late they reserve them seats at the back by dropping down drinks trays on three seats.
That is simply not on.
Last year I took a cheap Ryan-air flight and the pilot used every inch of runway.on landing.Another inch and he would have been on the turf.
While applying the brakes and reverse thrust the plane weaved left and right.
Now i knew what was going on but does everyone else in particular the staff of Ryanair.
The Ryanair way their concept I believe is a good one and it is cheap.The down side is in my view a distinct lack of discipline, safety procedures,and most certainly inexperienced pilots.
A cargo is a cargo including human beings.Due care and attention should be applied on all landings.
To be fare to them I went to Norway on the Friday and on that occasion the pilot was fine although they do seam to be always heavy on the breaking.I can only assume they are not getting their approaches right,or I sincerely hope not cutting a few corners here and there.
I have flown with them a few times now and they do seem are consistent
on bad piloting.
They need to improve soonest or their is an accident waiting to happen.

1. What were the runway conditions?
2. Did the aircraft catch a gust of wind under the wings just prior
or at any point during the landing?
3. I have was on an American Airlines flight from FLL to ORD and back
on the same type of aircraft that Ryanair uses the Boeing 737-800.
We used the entir runway for landing and for takeoff. Part of the use of the runway has to do with how heavy the aircraft is (how many bags, cargo etc....), condition of the runway and surface conditions.
4. Flight attendants are NOT babay sitters. The parent(s) / guardian should have been holding onto the baby and ensuring that he / she / it is not walking up and down the isle.
5. What is your knowledge of flying, aircraft operations and load planning?
