Today's top story: Ryanair "anti-crisis" plan

Here some amusing news which I actually like very much, probably a “nice” proof of the financial world crisis force.
“Irish budget airline Ryanair has said it is considering charging passengers for using the toilet while flying and the carrier was looking at maybe installing a coin slot on the toilet door”(BBC)
There is something that personally I hate the most when flying: just matter of seconds after the take-off when the safety belt light is off, the first thing the passengers do, is to leave their seats and go to the toilet. Practically you are not well-installed in your seat and they rise up and start walking back and forth through the plane.
But now, hope this plan of the Dublin based company will lead to the following effects:
"Charging people to go to the toilet might result in fewer people buying overpriced drinks on board, though - that would serve Ryanair right."
Ryanair confirmed also the plan to close all of its airport check-in desks by the end of the year in a bid to reduce the cost of its flights.

Not bad, at least remains a low cost company and as long as the planes land, everything is fine (compared to previous post:)

Lol! Passengers should use the bathroom before take off! It's alright to start charging them lol.

"which I actually like very much", plane instead of plain, and you actually compare it to the previous post :p

sorry, I have a penchant for doing this.

By the way, seeing as your avatar is a plane, do you like traveling? Are you one of these people who stand up to pee after take off and buy expensive drinks from the bar? :P

Much Love,

@HalfCrazy: Actually in the picture there are 2 aircrafts, the Space Shuttle "Endeavour" carried on the back of a Boeing 747.
