So - we bet that the media will be all over the latest news that seems to come straight out of the Onion:
Ryanair is considering charging passengers to use the toilet on its aircraft. According to the Belfast Telegraph - The airline's CEO, Michael O'Leary, is touting the idea of putting a coin slot on the toilet door as a means of raising "discretionary revenue".
OK - we know that's pretty mind-boggling - but we think this is going to be WAAYY overblown. Let's take a look at what O'Leary actually said, as reported by Today in the Sky:
"One thing we have looked at in the past and are looking at again is the possibility of maybe putting a coin slot on the toilet door so that people might actually have to spend a pound (about $1.43)... in future."
Well, that outrageous statement is actually hedged pretty well. Look - we know we joke about how far airlines will go to make an extra dollar (we even have a tag for "25 cents to use the bathroom") - but we just can't get worked up about it that much. We just don't think it'll happen.
However, if it does happen - FMV will be the first to test how water resistant their air sickness bags are...
