Ryanair Moving Ahead with Pay to Pee Plans
USA Today reports that, according to London's Daily Mail, Ryanair "is working with Boeing to develop coin-operated toilets on 168 of its planes".
Ryanair also plans to reduce the number of toilets on board.

I hear that Ruinair pilots are holding a sweepstake as to what's coming next!
Favourites are "pay for" oxygen masks and life jackets.

this rumor again?! Must only be 6 months since this was last mooted (should be noted FR currently have a sale on).
Won't happen, at least in the UK as having to pay, while in the air, will break any numerous disability laws

Why not? Morons will still fly on this piece of junk airline. They're just testing the limits of the public. Isn't that what "free markets" are all about?

Good luck - with no seat pockets there are no sick bags either! (Although I imagine are kept somewhere else)
I am not a moron for choosing to fly with them on the occasions I have. I had low expectations the first time I flew with them but was quite impressed. The aircraft was very clean and comfortable for the short flight. Every flight I had was early. I knew exactly what was and wasn't included in my ticket (it was made very clear) and was happy to pay for the services I required like drinks and a bag for when I had one. Almost no different to flying most US airlines today.
I would have no hesitation in flying with them again

Few would admit that they are.
How did you enjoy flying in and out of rinky-dink strips of grass 60 kilometers outside of major cities?
