Vote on standing seats

You can now vote about the "standing seats" on Ryanair !

http://www.ryanair.com/site/EN/news.php?yr=09&month=jul&story=gen-en-090709

I gave my vote...

NO/NON/NEIN to all 3.

Standing on a flight is just not possible, and honestly - how much space would you save? How could one perform the brace position if the worst is happening?

I know M'OL likes free publicity - but recently this is crossing the line. What would be wrong in painting 3 planes with BYE BYE BRITISH AIRWAYS?

I agree. As someone said recently ... what does MO'L want us to do next to save money? .... fly the planes? I am going to get a t-shirt printed which says .... 'I WONT STAND FOR RYANAIR!'

maybe save a few £€s employing out of work BA pilots.. a pound/euro an hour is better than nothing no no no to standing ... oh nooooo... imagine if they were introduced.. wonder who would be the first to say.."I've Landed on my feet here"

I am wondering whether these ideas are just a ploy to get you to log on to www.ryanair.com and make a booking!

I think the results... if published would be a strong NO to stand-seats. Which really cant be called seats...

I think the results will be a massive NO.
Ryanair will thus bow to the general opinion of its customers - end of the story !

I couldn't agree more! A strong No/Non/Nein result! Excellent news for customers!

Certain things just can't be done - that, €1 toliet charge, and taking bags to the plane: simply are no-go's.

YES, NO, YES. Every time I like Ryanair more!

Ní hea go raibh maith agat MOL I think this one will will turn out like the Irish vote on the Lisbon treaty, a big NEVER, NEVER, NEVER! They won't get approval for this. I hate to be negative, but it's NO, NO, NO from me.

I really think this is never going to happen. Its just for publicity.
In order to increase the number of passengers on board by 50%, they would need to redesign the aircraft with the additional emergency exits.
They would need to have more cabin crew on board (1 per every 50 passenger seats)and it does not seem possible that safety procedures such as the brace position can be done easily if needed.
Also standing seats would not allow for the carriage of infants, young people, or short people (looking at the proposed pictures anyway)

I think CabinCrewDave has answered the question completely - it simply cannot happen unless serious changes are made.

maybe the standing concept was proposed for and with the intent of supplying a better service for its standby passengers sorry couldn't resist

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! That's a good one!

Voting extended! I hope they all come out as NO!!!

I haven't voted and I will not. The only reason is because it's just a stunt - even if ppl vote yes it's nearly impossible to provide!

Well you never know with Ryanair! So I think it is better for everyone to vote NO to show that these crazy and wacky ideas will not be welcomed!

NEIN!

They don't care about pax, so voting should change nothing. And it's not because of Ryanair has strange ideas which like to provide. It's because technically (construction of the plane, security on board) it's nearly impossible in my opinion!

3x no

The more NO, NON, NEIN! The more they will see these stupid ideas just are not welcomed!

The results are in, http://www.ryanair.com/site/EN/news.php?yr=09&month=jul&story=gen-en-220709

Somehow, I find those results very hard to believe. I do not see anyone wanting to stand on a flight. Take-off would be considerably uncomfortable likewise with any turbulence.

If Boeing even considered to look into this - it certainly will damage the reputation!

Another question - how could the fares for those who stand be free?

Yes - No - Yes

For me the low fares are more important then a comfortable sit...expecially for only one hour flights; for this I prefer to select a way for save money, if it's possible.

Actually, most of short (up to one hour) flights are for free (+ airport fees/online checkin fee) so it doesn't make any difference for me
