- Ya know how your legs get cramped after sitting on a plane for too long? Ever wish you could just stand the whole way instead? …no? Well, Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary thinks you might – it’ll save him a couple bucks too. Inspired by a Chinese airline which charged passengers a reduced fare to sit at a bar stool with a seat belt around their waists, O’Leary is now asking the Irish Aviation Authority if it’s A-OK for the company to do the same. Since the seats are crappy, does that mean the plane has an open bar? source
