Ryanair’s O’Leary Ponders One-Euro Toilets, Standing Passengers.



By Felix Gillette

Sept. 3 (Bloomberg) -- “Why does every plane have two pilots?” asks Michael O’Leary, chief executive officer of Ryanair Holdings Plc, the largest low-cost airline in Europe. Wearing sneakers, jeans, and an off-the-rack short-sleeved shirt, O’Leary is pontificating in his office at the company’s headquarters on the outskirts of Dublin Airport.

“Really, you only need one pilot,” he tells Bloomberg Businessweek in the Sept. 6 edition. “Let’s take out the second pilot. Let the bloody computer fly it.” What happens if the pilot has a heart attack? One member of the cabin crew on all Ryanair flights would be trained to land a plane. “If the pilot has an emergency, he rings the bell, he calls her in,” O’Leary says. “She could take over.”

This guys is some kind of tool. Now in Aussie coloquialisms a tool is some kind of 'tard. You get the picture?

Standing passengers, coin op dunnies. I suggest women start taking "she pee's" (http://www.shepee.org/) with them and a freezer bag. Can't take bottles on board sorry. Freezer bags are tough enough. As for the fellas perhaps a camelbak or similar.

maybe for the other one... sorry ..two ..... someone can invent a "log pod" or something. I'm imagining something that looks like a fast food burrito container.

Hey better yet, if they just line the floors with slats and make everyone remove their clothing before they board. I mean clothing gets in the way of passenger security anyway. Then everyone can just crap where they stand..... oh hang on. That sounds like a cattle carrier... cattle class anyone?

As for flying a plane just get the loser war vet with psychological problems to land the plan if something goes wrong. All the airplane movies I have seen have one on board so it must be true.

I wonder if this guy is going to fly on one of his own planes with 1 pilot. As for stewardesses flying plane most of the ones I have come across in the states are so agro they'd probably crash the thing out of spite.

You get what you pay for.
