A Ryanair pilot has predicted Christmas travellers and luggage will be left behind during festive Border Force and baggage handler strikes.
Speaking anonymously, the aviation pro said pilots with the budget airline have been known to deliberately delay their flights to wait for customers and bags caught up in airport chaos over the past few months.
This practice was brought to a sharp end earlier this month when the company sent round a memo to all plane workers ordering them to "never" ask whether boarding gates can remain open less than 15 minutes before take off.
