Ryanair wants to sell tickets to STAND UP and fly
You might want to consider them below you - but they are people with money and aspirations
And I agree with Avman, the whole thing screams 'cheapo'. That ghastly website. The horrid interior of the aircraft. Eurgh. Oh, and that daft trumpet sound, "we're ahead of schedule yet again" when landing. Yeah, if you didn't define the flight times with additional overhead included.

Who? people that pay £1 to go to Spain? Yeah, they must be minted... 
Yeah, they must be. Like it or not Ryanair has the healthiest balance sheet in the industry

There is a film you know of them testing the passenger loading facility for the new seats

Made me laugh! Suppose it would be a great way of beating the traditional Ryanair boarding scrum!

Speaking of boarding scrum. I was once on a flight from Stanstead to Ciampino. People rushed to the front and rear doors of the Ryanair plane. I was waiting patiently at the back to board, walked calmly to the rear door to find passengers packed in like sardines in the seats close to the exit. A quick glance forwards also had the passengers packed in at the front of the plane near the door.
I simply walked on, went to the middle of the plane and found about two or three completely empty rows. I got a window seat with no one sitting next to me. Some late arrivals did take up four of the remaining eleven seats but apart from that I had masses of space.
And some of those people crammed in at the front and back paid extra for advanced boarding.
Having said that, you get what you pay for with Ryanair these days and having seen a few interviews with Mr OL, I won't be giving him any more of my money anytime soon.

Bunk beds on aircraft.
OK. I've just had the best idea ever! Mr OL, if you're lurking, I want royalties from this.
Instead of seats, how about 3 or 4 beds, (or as I like to call them, coffins) stacked one on top of the other a bit like those pods that the Japanese call hotels for businessmen. You get in through a hole at the aisle end, lie down on a mattress, with a pillow. strap in and enjoy your flight. There would still be a central aisle and beds either side of it.
Remember the film The Fifth Element, when Bruce Willis gets on the spaceship whose interior is a bit like this and they tranquilise him? Then you wouldn't need any cabin crew!
I haven't done the maths, but the beds would have to be angled slightly to fit a 5' 10" long bed in the space normally used for three average seats (just under 5').
People over 5'10" are freaks and should not be flying in the first place!
It would certainly end the envy of economy passengers when they think about the comfy beds that Business and First Class passengers get.
Unfortunately, there could not be a door on the hole at the aisle end as the build-up of Methane could be too dangerous!
