Looking at their route map:
http://www.ryanair.com/site/EN/dests.php
I could initially see why they were interested in standing room flights.
But then if you click a depature point, the distance is farther than I'd care to go.
Probably they would redo the schedule once they had those planes.
But overall a bad idea. (carry-ons ?, emergency exit times ?)
Would think China would have done it by now, they were manufacturing MD-80's for some time.
Sure I've stood in a Greyhound bus for 1.5hrs in my college years, but wouldn't now.
Prefer persuing the idea of triple bunk beds in the plane instead (previously posted).
