Talk about being tight!

It is reported that budget carrier, Ryanair, is in talks with Boeing about adapting its aircraft so that some passengers could be placed in "vertical seating" – i.e. you stand throughout your flight. WTF?

Can you imagine how it would be like taking off and landing? Taking off is less of a problem I think. But landing??? People would seriously topple over. Maybe they would have "stand-belts". Hmm.

And get this, it has also recently suggested that heavy passengers pay a "fat tax" and travellers pay to use its on-board toilets. The "fat tax" perhaps has some argument, but toilets – hello? I'd pee outta the window or into a tin can if I could but unfortunately, I believe toilets should be a basic right to provide.

Money hungry grubbers. Pfft!
