I'd rather love to see "standard low-cost" implemented into the game

I'd fly with that type of seating... Just once, for some pictures and the experience. :)

Old news, Ryan is just trying to fetch another bit of free PR ... That seat design was actually talked originally already a few years ago when it was "suggested" by either Airbus or Boeing (can't remember who actually..).

Ryanair has thought about it. I think they asked permission from the EU.

Yeah, I would like to try it, just once, on a very short flight.

I am rather concerned with safety. I wonder how they will make this idea work technically, if you compare it to seat safety requirements... Personally, I already find standing in trains pretty awkward - one hour travel from Frankfurt to Cologne e.g. can be a hurting experience.

I was just kidding about this in AWS. But if SkyEurope try this (well, they probably go to bankrupt, but maybe...), I definetly try that too :D But just on some domestic service (maybe BTS-KSC).

Fox News: "O'Leary got the idea from Chinese airline Spring, which put forward similar plans — estimating they could pack in up to 50 per cent more passengers and slash costs by 20 per cent." ;D
