Just leave the your turds in the seat. The groomer will come by after the flight and clean it up anyway. :|

I heard that Ryanair was planning to charge for the lav some years ago. Not sure if they went through with it.
The timing of the news would indicate a joke, but the way all thus has been going down doesn't surprise me.

The method Ryanair uses is well known. Make an outlandish claim like taking out all the seats and installing hold straps from the ceiling! Pack more people on the plane. It gets them two weeks of free advertising as all the news networks pick up the story.

Still works, does it not!!!!!

Can anyone confirm if there have been layoffs at WestJet due to swoop? I’m thinking CSA’s...

At the CAE facility in YYZ this week there is a ground school going on for Scoop. Room looked full walking by. Was also a banner up from CAE welcoming them as a new client. Guess they are contracting out all the training for pilots too.

Spoke to YXX csa today. None have been laid off. Normal ops. They’ve heard this rumour and said it’s false.

I’m curious to know if the CSA’s in YXX will be doing swoop flights? If not the writing is on the wall, with Swoop replacing WestJet flight out of YXX it’s only a matter of time now.
