I loled but ryanair was considering a "standing only" tier: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2012/feb/28/ryanair-standing-only-plane-tickets-regulator https://www.theguardian.com/business/2012/feb/28/ryanair-sta...
Frankly maybe I'd prefer that to cramped seats.
- eesmith 3y agoThat was a marketing stunt. There's no way it would have been allowed and they had to have known it. You don't want to take turbulence standing up. The London Underground doesn't take negative g-s, there's no equivalent to brace position should there be an emergency landing, and there are strict certification requirements for how quickly everyone should be able to evacuate. The same is true about the other stunt fees listed - charge for the toilets and you'll have people peeing in bottles or on the floor. Moving to one pilot instead of two doesn't yet seem like a cost effective solution as it requires a level of automation that isn't here yet, and definitely not something Ryan can pull off on its own. https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/single-pilot-planes/index.html https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/single-pilot-planes/i...
