Another unbelievable news from Ryanair!!!

Standing during turbulence would be dangerous. I wonder if travel insurance companies would be happy if passengers stood up. Elderly people, pregnant ladies, the infirm and young children wouldn't want to stand up. I am weak at the moment and if made to stand I would faint. I am not interested in cutting 20% off the fares. The seats in Ryan Air are crammed in so they carry many passengers already. The latest proposals of budget airlines are really silly.

I know - it is totally ridiculous and they are just going o eventually get rid of passengers not gain them! It's a shame they fly to some of the destinations that other airlines don't!

I doubt this idea is ever going to happen..It's probably just another free publicity seeking stunt by O'Leary to raise the Airline's profile.. Apart from the safety aspect (can these upright rests withstand the legislated G-force requirements with a passenger strapped to them,and how much reinforcing (read "weight") would it take to bring them to spec.?) also,the aircraft types are rated/limited to carry a certain number of passengers..so there's no way they'd be allowed to exceed the number of passengers by making better use of the interior space! Not to mention the decreased efficiency of the aircraft by needing more fuel to carry the extra weight of more passengers and the additional baggage that would then be aboard.. Here's a link to a related news article.. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/8779388.stm

What??? Isn't that dangerous? I think this would be more costly for them. More injuries may result in this because of more possible lawsuits filed by passengers and families. Besides who could stand up for that long on a plane? I would get airsick!
