standing on ryanair
I visited Ryanair's site just now and they are polling to find out if people would stand on 1 hour flights for free or 50% of a regular ticket.
I would!

Hell yea, I've stood for an 8 hour bus ride before, at least on an aircraft I could stand straight instead of being hunched over.
I somehow doubt health and safety in the EU would allow this though... What happens when the fasten seat belts sign comes on...

actually, on their site they have a diagram showing small walls almost with seat belts. I voted yes in the poll although I agree that the EU might not go for it.

i think the only problem would be if you fit that many more people on a plane, how are you going to be able to get that many people off in a short amount of time through the existing exits in the case of an emergency? 
but heck yeah i'd stand for a cheap flight. hands down.

Sounds good to me, but then I'd fly without emergency exits if it was free.

Ryanair also confirmed it had been in talks with European safety regulators about proposals to allow passengers to stand on its flights.
