>> Ryanair Going Ahead With Pay-To-Potty Plan
By Chris Morran on April 7, 2010 12:04 PM
Almost a year after announcing their plans to charge passengers for
using toilets on their planes, discount airline Ryanair is finally
pushing ahead with not only installing the pay potties on their jets,
but cutting down the number of toilets available to passengers.
Or as the very British Daily Mail puts it: "Spending a penny on a
flight will soon cost as much as a pound."
Ryanair is currently redesigning their cabins to install the pay
toilets on 168 of their planes, which will cost about $1.40 per trip
to the loo. Additionally, they are cutting the number of toilets on
the plane to make room for extra seats.
Says a rep for Ryanair:
“By charging for the toilets we are hoping to change passenger
behaviour so that they use the bathroom before or after the flight...
That will enable us to remove two out of three of the toilets and make
way for at least six extra seats on board.”
Which is worse -- this or Spirit Airlines charging for carry-on bags?

hmm... I'll have to bring that catheter next time I fly... and then
use the method that the Jeff Bridges character uses in "Crazy Heart"
to get rid of the product, i.e., spilling it on the floor. Or even
better, the passengers could cooperate to pool their poop and peep in
a single pot that they pass around (while pooling their money to pay
the fee to use the bathroom when the container is full) and have one
of them actually dump the product in the toilet. Or the first user
could pay and then hold the door open for the next, etc. ... They
likely don't know it, but the Ryanair executives are encouraging
passenger solidarity.
