[i looked, i didn't see. if this is a repeat thread]
probably not. and it's pretty dangerous. i love the comparison to the tube. mr o' leary, the tube doesn't get the same kind of turbulence you retard.
surely that would be unsafe on take off and landing?
Not if you lean forward or back
Solution!
silly me
they could also just put a pole on the plane and passengers can hang on.
i wouldn't fly ryanair if they paid me
i'd only fly ryanair if as part of the flight i was allowed to spend 15 minutes battering michael o'leary with an assortment of blunt instruments including, but not limited to: a baseball bat, a crowbar, a half-brick in a sock, a ridiculously over-heavy whole-puncher, a set of boules, and a hammer
I'm with brusma on this.
Can i help with the battering?
you're not eating into my 15 minutes!
get your own 15 minutes!
i'll lend you my set of boules though
appreciated.
:)
YES
that would be such a novelty, and fun too. shame that that fat tax never came in :(
i love how mental he is
you won't love him so much when you hear
"brace brace"
yes
I imagine it would be similar to the feeling of PURE UNADULTERATED JOY i felt when I stood in the aisle in the back of the moving campervan, looked out onto the road in front of me and jogged on the spot.
That's ridiculous
I hate Ryanair. Also, what's in it for them?
I hope Michael O Leary gets hit by a Boeing 747
as this is ryanair
I'm assuming free doesn't include the "square foot of aeroplane floor rental surchage"
i don't know whether to laugh or cry
that's possibly the worst suggestion I've ever heard. Why would that even benefit Ryanair?! They'd be losing money that people would have paid to actually sit in those seats they're ripping up.
Don't fall for their PR crap
This probably will never happen. They are kings of media management. Every few months they release some nonsense story causes a bit of a stir in the press and they get loads of free publicity. No matter the ridiculousness of story (eg paying to use the loo), people just think "oh they're twats anyway" and will carry on buying flights, so they just get free publicity from the story.
don't forget they'll still be charging these people
tenner to book, twenty to check in a bag, tenner for a sandwich etc etc..
i want to say something,
but i'm flying ryanair again in a few weeks, so i'm not going to.
This is almost as good as the time they tried to put seats on the wings
seatbelts an optional extra, for a small surcharge.
I doubt it would be allowed
It simply isn't safe.
yes, definitely
I mean if you crash you're basically going to die / be badly injured anyway. At least this way you won't have paid for the privilege
Just flew with them a week ago
The flights to begin with were dirt cheap but my mate fecked up with the baggage and I ended up having to pay at the airport for my suitcase. That's where they hit you. It was 20 quid for each flight and I had four flights in total. Ouch. And you could still only bring on 15 kilos or some bullshit. The flights themselves were grand, I'm not one of these people that expects a meal and handshank off the stewardess. A semi-comfortable seat and air con and I'm laughing. But standing up? No fucking chance.
They were also talking about charging people to use the toilet on the plane a while ago. Mentallers.
you find a seat and air supply funny?
good man.
I'd do it for sure
...
I once stood on a train from Scotland to London.
So: No.
