The Telegraph reports that the CEO of European economy airline, Ryanair, Michael O’Leary, says seatbelts on an airplane are pointless, and therefore lawmakers should allow his airline to offer “Standing Room Only” cabins with tickets selling for as low as £1.
For readers who may require actual facts to support that this idea is stupid, here is a link to an article from ABC News, referring to the 2005 Toronto Air France plane crash where everyone survived, stating:
“Safety experts point to the August 2005 crash-landing of Air France flight 358 in Toronto as an example of how stronger seats can save lives.”
Note the quote suggests “seats” are required to save lives. So in theory, seatbelts worn around the wastes of passengers as fashion statements in a standing room cabin, may in fact be pointless. Also, in theory, Donald Trump is relatively not looking like the most insane CEO in the world – and just in time for a new season of the Celebrity Apprentice!
3 Worse Ideas For Airplane Cabins Than “Standing Room”
1. Bouncy Castle cabin for children (extra surcharge for non-toilet trained toddlers).
2. “Ride with the luggage – it’s just like one of those ice vodka bars, without the vodka” Cabin
3. UFC Octagon and Steel Cage Cabin. Your friends and family have to buy a live pay-per-view program to see if you make it out of the Octagon without getting knocked out or cauliflower ears.
