Ryanair could only have 11 more seats than they already have, to avoid the extra cabin crew member rule of 1 for every 50 pax or fraction of. You can fly for free on the stool, but you'll have to pay if you wan't to sit, or have to sit because the 11 free stools have been baggsed
I would love to see that stampede of a boarding.

Good point, must defo be a publicity stunt. I know it wouldn't get approved, but I was seriously wondering that MOL might actually believe it would. There are to many safety implications such as turblance and RTO's

Course its just another publicity stunt, the attention seeker ought to focus on the REAL and increasing problems at Pikey Central
Anyone note the parallels between ryr and its defunct relation Guinness Peat Aviation...............
Remember them?
Classic case of over expansion
Many an MBA was awarded using it as a case study

Oh god when will this all stop!!
I gave up on Ryanair this year completely.lLast year i used them over 20 times but their standards have dropped significantly.
I transferred to Easy this year.So far i have flown 12 times with them.
Their c/c actually seem to enjoy the job.
Flying to the main Airports leads to better onward connections.
And yes as Ryanair always state "on time" performance.Many customers i have spoken to dont mind a ten or twenty minute delay from the major Airports.
Easy could always do what Ryanair do and make schedules stretch to make more on time performance but eventually the customers will decide if they are happy.
Long may Ryanair ridicule themselves.MOL it will go wrong eventually.

Flybe and Ryanair
There is always so much interesting commentary on here about Ryanair v easyjet and other loco's on matters such as service, punctuality, destinations served etc.
However, I mentioned before that I distinctly think that ryanair avoid any direct competition with Flybe.. Are there any comparible city pairs that Flybe and Ryanair compete on say outside of Belfast London market?
Does anyone see that Ryanair have avoided this? There was a bit of a peak in publicity in Bournemouth (bournemouth v southampton) some years ago but seems to have died off.
MOL if you read this forum, I would like to know when are you going to have the bottle to take on flybe? Ryanair are comfortable to go head to head with other loco's with similar sized aircraft, but how do would you fair against Flybe?
Anybody else have any thoughts on this idea?
On many sectors Flybe would be more realistic in terms of aircraft size, ie 2/3 Q400s per day instead of 1 738?

Seville
Ryanair want to base 2 planes at Seville and bring the number of routes there to 40 by the coming winter if they can strike a deal with Seville Airport of course...

Knowing MOL, he'd charge for that as well!

A bit like having to pay to have a p1ss, never a hope of it happening but it generates free publicity for a day or two. Like transporting then using images of the Queen of Spain without her permission. Are some of you guys unable to see the wood for the trees ?
LOW-COST airline Ryanair may be an Irish company, it was claimed last night.
Aviation experts said that expecting passengers to stand for an entire journey on board a plane travelling at 400mph and vulnerable to turbulence and sudden, sharp descents did have a 'flavour of the Emerald Isle about it'.
Tom Logan, from Brunel University, said: "As far as we're aware most of their flights are vaguely on time and the whole thing is reasonably piss-free and efficient, so we knew they weren't English.
"And of course there are no planes in Wales because of their fear of dragons, so we were able to rule that out.
"Then we noticed they were always in the newspapers for horrible, mean-spirited ideas designed to accumulate as much money as possible with no regard for anyone else, so we just assumed they were Scottish.
"But now with the 'standing up on a plane' idea it seems they may actually be from Ireland."
Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary said if there was no standing room left then passengers could be strapped to the roof or hang from the engines on a rope.
He added: "Thousands of people stand on tube trains every day. I completely fail to see to the difference.
"Sure, the tube tends to stay below 30,000 feet and seldom goes over 400mph, but I think there's a big market for people who think a long weekend in Gdansk is worth dying for."
A spokesman for the Civil Aviation Authority said: "He's like a cross between Willy Wonka and a leprechaun that was abused as a child. It's endearing and terrifying in equal measure."

just chatted to a few mates there and one of the first things they said was - 'so is it true that o'leary wants people to stand'.before that it was 'is it true that ryanair will charge soon for takin a piss?'.
Ryanair on the brain,thats is the aim here.to get the public talking ryanair.some will say its pathetic and they will never fly them,others will say how ryanair are thinking of everything to cut costs and that there flights are great because there cheap.
people ACTUALLY believe anything printed in papers or on an rte news bulletin.Hilarious
Goebbels = 1. 'If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it'
2. 'Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play.' include ryanair instead of government.
it is pathetic ryanair at its best
