I thought that this seemed odd till I realized that it was RyanAir. Those guys will do anything to cut costs.

  Those guys will do anything for publicity. The limit on the number of people on a plane is the evacuation time, you can't fit many more people on without fitting more doors. Expect a statement later about how the bureaucrats wouldn't allow it.

  I don't get why they'd even propose something like this. It'd be against commercial passenger air regulations in any reasonable country, because it's dangerous to let people stand up for the whole flight. Every so often, people are either killed or end up wearing cervical collars due to turbulence.

    It's dangerous to let people stand in a normally-equipped airliner. That doesn't mean there isn't some way to outfit one to safely hold standing passengers.

    Agreed. During turbulence people get injured by flying objects. I dont want to get hit by flying bodies.

  Yup. I consider Ryanair to be the most innovative airline in the world, and they have been for several years. Most other carriers are content with copying the business models that have succeeded earlier or elsewhere. Ryanair gets up every day and tries to blow up the old ways of doing business. Wal-Mart with wings.
