He may be the CEO of one of the biggest cost effective airlines, but that doesn't stop him getting on down with the people sometimes. That and he knows how social media works so this was bound to take off (pun partially intended - as always).

Overall the reaction was positive...
@GaryDunne @gavinsblog On a serious note I've seen him do it before. Good for a CEO to work the trenches from time to time.

But, of course, there were the inevitable questions...
@gavinsblog @GaryDunne how much extra did that cost?

@GaryDunne Stuck for cash? Short staffed?
