They should charge $500 for people who want to be able to recline their seat. Three quarters of it can be given to the poor passenger behind.

Not since the British all-business class airline Silverjet installed “women only loos,” was there anything to really discuss about taking a “poweder” on board. Then today, Ryanair’s boss suggested that the potential for “spending a pound [sterling]” to go take care of your business might be a better way to go.”

The man is a PR Hound, and frankly between the annoucements about closng check-in desks, and the now famous exchange between Ryanair IT Support and a customer showing just how low they can go- this man is just crying wolf!

See why we think O’Leary’s verbal incontinence should come to an end at:

Ryanair’s new slogan for pay toilets could be “Pay a pound to leave a pound.”

The floor could do as well, or the barf bags, if there is not a charge instituted for them. I’m sure cleaning the plane would cost a lot more than not charging for the lavs. But then Ryanair could save money by not cleaning the plane… Surely this rule will not materialize.

If this happens, we could see an upsurge in the adult diaper industry.

In the US, if you operate a business where food is sold for immediate consumption, albeit a restaurant or someone who sells food for immediate consumption and other
goods (BJ’s, Walmarts) and has a certain amount of seats, they MUST provide
FREE toliets. So I’m predicting that this will not happen in on US carriers.

And even if it did, all it would take is one passenger doing the cup thing and it would be over. In addition to the public outcry of sitting next to someone with that…there would be health violations all over the place.

Isn’t it illegal to charge to use the toilet in the U.S? I thought I had heard that it was. If that is the case, once you hit US air space, will the toilets then become free?

Is this the same executive who, according to Wikipedia ….

“In a press conference discussing Ryanair’s planned intercontinental service RyanAtlantic, O’Leary jokingly described the airline’s first-class travel experience as featuring “free beds and blowjobs.”[26] ”

Yuppp – spell my name right (we hope).
