Select airlines such as Ryan Air that cater to the cost-conscious flyer will be further reducing cabin staff for additional savings, so flightdeck crew will have to perambulate to the galley at the back of the aircraft to brew their own coffee.At the request of the FAA, for these airlines Boeing is installing optional Kinect consoles on the center pedestal, so the crew can take command of the aircraft by jumping up and down and gesturing wildly from anywhere along the aisle, should the auto-pilot disengage mid-flight.Ckeers,- jahman.
