Stand-up Aircraft Seats

I had to check the date today to make sure that it wasn't 1st April:

Ryanair are quoted as saying that they could sell these seats for as little as £5 each. However it is expected that the CAA would not allow these seats to be introduced by any UK Airline.

Face them backwards and introduce CATTLE CLASS tomorrow!

Could they ban planes fitted with these from landing in the UK ? Having said that Personally having great difficulty sitting in normal Aircraft seats & also train seats. Those may be the answer but does not mean I would even entertain flying Ryan cheapair.

I cant wait to see the 20 door 737 pmsl. Michael, get real. They look uncomfortable, they aint going to be safe. And did u take into account the extra cost of the redesigning of aircraft in order to have more emergency exits to be built in?

If u want a higher capacity, buy a bigget aircraft. Its not hard. Although i don't think the ryanair colours would look good on a 767/787/330, although it would be interesting.

Why did ryanair not go for the 737-900ER? 212 seats, makes more sense to buy that aircraft which doesnt cost that much more to operate. but gives an extra 23 seats to be sold at £149.99 one way. Get the cheap fares, book 11 months in advance, wear all your clothes, eat at home and pee behind an empty seat.

I am so anti ryanair lol.

I've flown twice because no other a/c was going where I wanted to go, both short flights thank goodness. Dirty aircraft & untidy & not very happy looking cabin crew. In fact to feed & water 4 of us because we were starving costs twice the airfare!!!!
