LeeinVA Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Well then the next logical cost saving step would be the passengers need to hand crank each one of the props? Makes more sense as jet engins are not cost effective Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 They'll be giving them parachutes next and throwing them out over the airports as it cheaper not to land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeinVA Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Yup... soon the braking gear will be removed and the plane will skid to a stop in a mountain of straw bales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeinVA Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 ***** I actually wouldn't mind that Axe, always wanted to go parachuting Christ, can you imagine the lost luggage claims though Baggage claim would be a bitch :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starlight32 Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 They'll be giving them parachutes next and throwing them out over the airports as it cheaper not to land. Parachutes are a tad expensive... But it is a start What about dropping them out over the channel and have a charitable institution such as RNLI or the Revenue & customs pick them up? Cheaper?

Highlander Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Surprised they don't get rid of luggage altogether, make more room for more passengers. Then they could bring in a size/height restriction. If it isn't already it could end up being like transporting cattle, 3 decks to every aircraft!

Axe Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Forget bright coloured shoe laces on bags or funky styles luggage, Ryanair own brand GPS luggage trackers :( (for a small fee naturally).... I've thought about this and they could brand special suit cases that have built in parachutes. So you sit on your suit case and downward you float. It will also cut down on overweight luggage!

Nial Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 New Ryanair report is saying passengers should carry all their luggage out onto the tarmac all the way to the plane, no more check ins. Great idea, at least then you know your luggage is on the same plane as you! Nial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonno 357 Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Used ryanair many times. Ita all seems rather press orientated. Never had any problems with ryanair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Actually, when you think about it its not such a bad idea. Book in online, then into the airport and go straight in the security queue and into the departure lounge. On the way home, no waiting at the luggage carousel (at busy times that can be 30 minutes+), just pick up your suitcase and straight through Customs. Most suitcases have wheels nowadays, so no heavy lifting and it would also prompt people not to take the kitchen sink on holiday with them.

al4x Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Used ryanair many times. Ita all seems rather press orientated. Never had any problems with ryanair my only issue is the fee to pay by debit card, cost me £16 last time on a return flight for two of us. My business gets charged 50p per debit card transaction, which to me looks pretty crooked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
