Ryanair to remove bathrooms & add more seats

The pursuit of Ryanair for finding new ways to squeeze more passengers inside its planes will never end. The airline's last move to reduce the number of lavatories on board came as no surprise to anyone observing Ryanair.
Would it be too bizarre for Ryanair to think of accommodating air passengers inside the cargo hold of the aircraft?
One of my blog posts was about the same mentality of Ryanair. It is located here (http://airlinologist.blogspot.com/2009/07/ryanairs-step-too-far_12.html).

Ryanair’s step too far?

With enough demand to make Ryanair sure of serving 67 million passengers in 2009 instead of 59 million passengers served in 2008, it is not strange anymore to expect Ryanair inventing more silly ideas:
• Asking the passengers to fly in their underclothes or otherwise, they have to pay for the weight of their outer-garments.
• Asking the passengers to fly standing. There will be ancillary charge for those passengers who are interested to fly sitting on bamboo stools, and even higher charge for upholstered seats. Oh goodness, it is horrible to think of the extra charges which are supposed to be paid by passengers who require stretchers due their medical conditions.

I proposed some more silly ideas to Ryanair in my article posted on 28 February 2009.
We will see if the passengers are willing to go for one more jump over the equation of supply and demand.

King of ancillary revenues, RyanAir offers €1,000 for best idea on making money!

Asking for more fresh ideas is unquestionably a good PR idea for RyanAir. Giving away 1,000 euros is almost nothing compared with the high publicity RyanAir will receive from propagating the news about its contest.

Legacy carriers can apply the same idea with little modification. They can simply organize similar contests but not for asking for fresh ideas to generate more ancillary revenues (like the case of RyanAir), but rather asking for fresh ideas to improve the overall passenger services. Thus, the passengers will be double-motivated to seriously participate in any of those contests. Apparently, they have a chance to win the contest and enjoy the to-be enhanced service of the legacy carrier.

Alas for those who can not participate in the contest of RyanAir due to their place of residence! The good news for me is that I will have less competition. However, to show my philanthropic traits, I am ready to have a joint venture with anyone of those ineligible contestants who has a knock-out idea for RyanAir.
