Nope. There is a saying that if you shake hands with Michael O'Leary, check your hand to make sure all 5 fingers are still there.

How about a compromise, and use those white plastic chairs. Strapped to the floor. Yes, comfort.
The empty ones can be stacked or parachuted out if need be.

Absolutely ridiculous. I somehow doubt that the elderly and disabled will like it.

Cool! Will the planes have straps to grab, like on buses?

These people should lose their license for even coming up with such a nonsensical idea.

The weight of a stool vs a standard seat, 200lbs each, yes I can see where that would slash fuel costs! But, will it offset the loss of passenger revenue from people flying other airlines?

Stack the passengers on top of one another like cord wood. That should save some money, so the CEO's and big shots can get their millions.

Next Ryanair will want people to Drive to their destinations to help cut costs.

To save even more money, Ryanair could simply STOP FLYING....­.

Have them sit on the wings and flap their arms.

Why not have the passengers lie down in rows in the cargo hold? Maybe dangle from the wing or something? If safety isn't an issue, there must be tons of way to save costs.

Yes, like fill the cabin with Helium instead of oxygen! Make the plane lighter and the people inside sound funny too.

Thank you for offering the only rational solution to the problem. As for me, I prefer trains anyway. Too bad the U.S. doesn't have any.
