Doors to Auto,
I'm very sorry to have to report that this suggestion has been put forward by crew many times to our "Step Change" team. It has been rejected every time, and their word is now final - rejected.
It's a tragic shame - it is one of the ways we could improve the service, but they are not astute enough to spot this.
WE NEED TO SUPPLY A BA-STYLE SERVICE AT EASYJET PRICES. This would be a winning solution. Wipe the floor with BA and FR - and it's not impossible. Nice uniforms, allocated seating, flexible tickets, happy faces from willing crew....
I guess, and I am guessing now, that the thinking is:
Ryanair have free seating, Ryanair make a profit. So we must have free seating to make a profit.
