Ryanair does it again

Also what he suffered was not a cardiac arrest - that is when your heart stops beating. You've got minutes to live unless you receive CPR and defibrillation.

No sandwich is going to sort that out - however expensive it is.

Don't let Daily Mail medical facts get in the way of a good story.


I love getting free copies of the Mail and giving it to my doctor friends highlighting some stories.

Perhaps the shock at being told how much the sandwich cost was enough to jolt his heart back into action.

I saw a while back, that ryanair wanted to introduce standing passengers by the way, which I thought from the safety point wouldnt be allowed? Did they ever progress with that?

Apparently Micheal o'Leary makes up stuff in interviews which others at Ryanair know are technically not feasible due to Aviation rules.

After all even the cabin crew have to sit down and be strapped in for take off and landing.

I didn't think there was a rule against standing up per se, just that people are correctly secured.

What grounded the idea was that aircraft are certified to carry a max number of passengers due to takeoff weight and evacuation capabilities - and Ryanair seating layouts are already at this max level.

So even if they did have passengers standing up - they would still only be allowed to carry the same number of passengers they are currently carrying anyway.

O'Leary was just making up the plan to get publicity - and it worked.

O'Leary just wants publicity - and it worked.

FTFY

but its a decent plan. If all you want is to ensure people know you exist talking crap to get on TV or newspapers is far cheaper than paying for advertising.

What do you expect from a company owned by a loudmouth with no shame and little decency?
