The reason I ask is that the Dolmen BB analyst on the Sunday business show on Today FM radio (last Sunday) struck me as making a point of squeezing in what appeared to be a cryptic mention of RYA (the presenter of the show seemed intent on mentioning Vodafone at least 20 times in the last seconds of that segment of the show so I thought there might be something specific on the Dolmen mans mind, LOL.)

STAND UP AND FLY FOR A FIVER

AIRLINE PLANS: 'Vertical seats' will free up space
Thursday July 1,2010
By Donna Bowater Have your say(2)
PASSENGERS with budget airline Ryanair could soon be able to fly standing up for just £5 as the company vows to revolutionise air travel.

Controversial chief executive Michael O'Leary said he would use a toilet tax to "change passenger behaviour" and fund the cheap flights.

He defended plans to charge customers £1 to use the loo to pay for a standing area with "vertical seats" at the back of its fleet of 250 planes.

In a TV interview to be aired tonight, Mr O'Leary said his airline wanted to encourage travellers on one-hour flights to use toilets in the airport before flying so more passengers could use short-haul services. And the Irish entrepreneur said he hoped the coin-operated toilet would be introduced soon "and the other change we've been looking at is taking out the last 10 rows of seats so we will have 15 rows of seats and the equivalent of 10 rows of standing area".


A Ryanair spokesman confirmed the airline had consulted with Boeing over refitting its fleet with "vertical seats" to allow passengers to be strapped in while standing up, which would cost between £4 and £8 per person.

He said safety testing could be carried out next year, when the toilet tax would also be rolled out. The plans could involve taking out two toilets at the back of the plane to make way for the standing area. James Fremantle, of the Air Transport Users Council, said there were no rules preventing Ryanair from removing toilets on their planes and the changes could lead to cheaper flights "as long as it doesn't breach safety orders".

But a spokesman for the Civil Aviation Authority said the plans were unlikely to meet safety requirements.

He said: "It's aviation law that people have to have a seatbelt on for take-off and landing so they would have to be in a seat. I don't know how Mr O'Leary would get around that one. During turbulence, passengers also have to have a seatbelt on.
