The last time Ryanair got wall to wall publicity for an utterance from it's chief executive Michael O'Leary the subject was pay toilets. Since earlier this week the word standing room has almost become synonymous with the low cost carrier after Michael O'Leary suggested that future aircraft deliveries could incorporate 'seats' for standing passengers. Milking it for all that it's worth, the airline today announced that it has launched an online poll to determine the travelling public's enthusiasm for 'standing' seats. The seats, illustrated above have the appearance of an upright bed with funfair shoulder restraints and are suggested for flights of one hour's duration or less, something which could affect load factor on longer sectors. For those eager to contribute to the poll, details are on the Ryanair web site.
