Ryanair 'abandons passengers' on wrong Canary Island after landing in thunderstorm

Budget airline passengers have learned to put up with a lot over the years. But you wouldn't have thought it too much to ask for travellers to be dropped at the correct destination. More than 100 tourists on a Ryanair flight to Lanzarote were stunned when they were abandoned on the wrong Canary Island. The flight from Bournemouth was forced to divert due to stormy weather and land on the neighbouring island of Fuerteventura. The passengers say they were then left to make their own onward travel arrangements to catch ferries and boats to Lanzarote. To make matters worse, they say that when the weather cleared the plane flew from Fuerteventura to Lanzarote before taking on passengers and returning to the UK. One family was left £400 out of pocket after they had to pay for hotel accommodation on Wednesday night and a 30-minute ferry crossing the next day. Kay Wright, 40, was with her sons Jack, six, and George, five, stepdaughter Tabatha, 23, and her three-year-old daughter Kacey. She had to phone partner Tony Wainwright at home in Bournemouth for help. Mrs Wright said: 'The plane was packed full of families going away for half term. They made an announcement on the plane saying "you will have to find your own way overland" due to the weather. 'After we landed in Lanzarote, we didn't see a single Ryanair representative. There were no leaflets and no information about what we should do next.' Tony, a 48-year-old security consultant, said: 'I got a phone call at about 6pm to say they had landed but were on the wrong island.

'After disembarking they had gone into the terminal but there were no Ryanair representatives to tell them what to do next.

'It was left to me and a very helpful Spanish lady to sort out a taxi, arrange alternative accommodation for the night and book ferry crossings to Lanzarote in the morning.

'I don't blame Ryanair for the bad weather but to abandon a family, on the wrong island, is unforgivable.

'It has cost us another £400. 'I know Ryanair is a budget airline but surely they have some duty of care to their passengers.'

The family had flown from Bournemouth Airport to Lanzarote on Wednesday and were left stranded along with dozens of other passengers. The weary family finally arrived at Playa Blanca yesterday following an eight mile ferry trip in choppy seas to Lanzarote. Tony said: 'There has been no contact from Ryanair whatsoever. 'No information was posted on their website to say the flight had been diverted. 'When I rang I was told to write and I would receive a reply within 14 days. 'The flights were cheap, they cost about £250, but there's no way we would use Ryanair again.'

A Ryanair spokesman said: 'Ryanair flight FR 4755, Bristol to Lanzarote, diverted to Fuerteventura due to bad weather in Lanzarote. 'Unfortunately ferries were also affected by these high winds so passengers were provided with EU261 information which outlines their entitlement to provide receipted hotel expenses to Ryanair, for refund. 'Ryanair arranged that the ferry company would carry affected Ryanair passengers to Lanzarote free of charge when ferries recommenced the following morning. 'Ryanair apologises to passengers for any inconvenience caused by this weather related diversion but can never put passenger convenience before passenger safety.'

The guidelines state that if flight disruption is outside the control of the airline, no monetary compensation is due. (my view)-This is cold hearted of them,after the weather had carmed they could say"everyone back on board"and take them to their RIGHT destination buy NO,they do not give a shit about the people!-The airline should be shut down!!

PM staff 'called bullying helpline'

The head of an anti-bullying charity has hit out at Gordon Brown after revealing several Downing Street staff have called its helpline. Christine Pratt said she had "seen red" after ministers rallied round to deny claims in a new book that the Prime Minister had been warned over his treatment of staff. Lord Mandelson said the Prime Minister was emotional, demanding and impatient but not a bully after a new book detailed a string of alleged outbursts. But Mrs Pratt, who founded the National Bullying Helpline after being a workplace victim herself, accused them of failing staff by "going into denial". "I have personally taken a call from staff in the Prime Minister's office, staff who believe they are working in a bullying culture and that it has caused them some stress. We would have hoped Gordon Brown would lead by example. If an employer receives complaints they should investigate," she said. "I am not saying Gordon Brown is a bully, I am not a judge. But I am appalled at the outright denial that is going on without due process being followed." Mrs Pratt said there had been "three or four" contacts with the helpline from Downing Street staff in recent years - although others were received before Mr Brown took charge. The book, by Observer political commentator Andrew Rawnsley, details a string of alleged incidents of verbal and physical outbursts by Mr Brown. Mrs Pratt said: "I saw the Lord Mandelson statement that had a categorical denial that bullying was going on in Gordon Brown's office. I saw red." She said she could not give details of the allegations - such as whether Mr Brown himself was being accused of being part of the problem.(He does yell and bully the staff....they have said before that he does.......and the look on that"one eyed scottish asshole"says it all

Over-the-limit pilot avoids jail-Story concluded

An American pilot who turned up at Heathrow Airport to fly a transatlantic jet while over the alcohol limit has avoided a jail sentence. Captain Erwin Vermont Washington, 51, was given a ten-month suspended sentence at London's Isleworth Crown Court. Washington was charged after a concerned colleague who smelled alcohol on his breath reported him to police. There were 124 passengers and 11 crew members on board flight UA949 to Chicago and the departure of the United Airlines Boeing 767 was "imminent" when officers arrived at Terminal One.

Sentencing him Judge Sam Katkhuda said his behaviour was "simply not acceptable".

Washington of Lakewood, Colorado, was found to have more than double the amount of alcohol in his blood for flying when he was tested on November 9 last year. The court was told the highly experienced pilot, a married father of three, was over the legal alcohol limit as a result of a "miscalculation". But Judge Katkhuda told him: "This is simply not acceptable, it was entirely voluntary on your part that you consumed alcoholic drink." He added: "As pilot, you know well that travelling on air craft not only places special duty on passengers to behave in a reasonable manner, but also places special responsibility on pilots to comply with their duty. "When you arrived to take control of this flight for Atlantic Airlines to Chicago the air crew noticed alcohol on your breath and were disturbed enough to report the matter to airport authorities."(my view)-See.....there is NO justice!

Jesus was gay, claims Sir Elton

Sir Elton John is facing a backlash from conservative Christian groups after stating in an interview that Jesus was a gay man. The 62-year-old musician also opened up to US magazine Parade about the "life-threatening downside" of fame and his relationship with partner David Furnish. But it's the Rocket Man's views on Jesus's sexuality which have sparked headlines across the world. In the interview, to be published in America on Saturday, Sir Elton said: "I think Jesus was a compassionate, super-intelligent gay man who understood human problems. "On the cross, he forgave the people who crucified him. Jesus wanted us to be loving and forgiving. I don't know what makes people so cruel. Try being a gay woman in the Middle East - you're as good as dead." Stephen Green, director of Christian Voice, described the gay claim as "rubbish". He said: "The Bible says Jesus was without sin and that rules out homosexuality. This is a desperate cry for attention." Mike Judge, of the Christian Institute, dismissed the star's views, saying: "Had a senior political figure made these comments, I would have had an opinion. But this is Elton John and I don't think anybody takes him seriously." Gay Christian groups acknowledged Sir Elton, who is often pictured wearing a crucifix, had reopened debate on homosexuality and the church. Jeremy Marks, founder and director of Courage, a Christian organisation for Gays and Lesbians, said: "None of us know and will never know what Jesus's sexuality was. Certainly people's perceptions of relationships between men, and men and women, were different then and would be unrecognisable today. I think he is explaining how he sees Jesus in his life and wants to encourage other people to see that too."(my view)-Of course the queen of the fags would say that.....its this sausage lover that is seeking attention......take an overdose will yea!
