People are talking about this junk, taking its seriously, and there are hardly any stories about how RA have increased their baggage charges over the summer and increased the amount they charge you for not pre booking baggage. What a coincidence that the two announcements, standing up and increased luggage charges, happened at the same time. Guess which one is happening, and which one never will ? Nope, instead they write long serious articles about why they wouldn't fly like that* or how dangerous it is. Wake up and smell the free publicity coffee.

I'm sure if M O'Leary said you could be duct taped to the wings for half price you'd get someone here writing about it.


* and they wont because its never going to happen.
Exactly. This would never pass regulatory approval and would carry with it a significant liability exposure even if it were approved. It's a publicity stunt and nothing more. Why this garbage even gets press coverage escapes me; it's a ludicrous idea.
