Ryanair boss says he'll donate pay-to-pee profits to charity

he is NOT back-pedalling, they are STILL going to try to charge to pee. NOR is he giving the profits of the extra charge to charity, there is NO such charity (look it up).....just read what he is being quoted as saying......."whatever money we make on the toilets, we'll happily give it away to some charity for incontinent air-travellers". he is being SARCASTIC and FACETIOUS.
the only extra-charge that HAS been shut down is the discrimination by weight charge....but he tried, didn't he? he is not trying to do this for the good of the public, or the retraining of bladders everywhere. extra seats mean extra cash for him. why not run that as a headline?? rather than the incorrect and frankly misleading headline that hangs above your misleading article....imagine what would happen if this writer was in the politics section!?!

What we are going to need is a LAW stipulating that ALL CHARGES must be listed in the headline price with these airlines. It has been shown again and again that the airlines cannot be trusted to regulate or govern themselves.
Full disclosure of the full price and no tricks of payments (RYANAIR) or anything else to inflate the headline ticket price.

Mr O'Leary is either smoking something funny, or is just manipulating the gullible media for free publicity, or he just has no clue about modern passenger airplanes. If he actually knew ANYTHING about an aircraft toilet, he would know that they are highly susceptible to clogging. Passports and wads of paper towel routinely block the too small pipes, and shut down the vacuum toilet systems. Perhaps he has never talked to any of his mechanics or engineers, or considered the cost of his aircraft sitting on the ground because of non-operational systems.

Under normal operating procedures, a minimum number of toilets MUST be available, by law, before takeoff, depending on seats filled, and length of flight. A COMPLETELY clogged toilet SYSTEM will CERTAINLY be the result of disgruntled passengers with caffeine and alcohol boosted personal exhaust systems having to pay to relieve their most basic human functions. I hesitate to mention the STENCH of brown-stained carpets and seats sure to result from this (mud) pie in the sky idea!

This idea is FOLLY on the grandest scale, equivalent to the plight of recent winter stormbound passengers held 13 hours on the tarmac, going nowhere, as the airline management played their fiddles.

Who is this guy to tell us as to which charities we are to support and to what is going to be done with the income made....a little food, housing, etc. is much better than a free plane ride.......

This guy is full of pee

They won't need the extra six seats, most people will avoid using their services. I definitely would not fly with Ryanair.

He might as well charge to pee up there we have to pay to pee in our own homes with the sewer and water prices

I'd hate to the be cleaners!!! You know it's gonna happen!

Real smart !! lol.
If that one toilet gets plugged are they going to bring a bucket?
What if somebody was out of money?
Every time I think I heard it all somebody else comes up with a bigger stupid idea. Who in their right mind would fly with pay for pee?
After reading this there is no way in hell that I would ever consider using that airline.

Remember the good old days where you had to use a dime for privacy in public washrooms - It didn't last and the airline won't last either if it persists on charging for the necessities of life

This is beyond ridiculous!!! Someone should make Michael O'Leary try this himself on a trans continental flight!!! Incontinent Charity......WTF???? He thinks he has the right to decide where MY charity money is going??? Not to mention there probably isnt one in existence!!
I would rather fly somewhere else than give this greedy creep my business.
As if the airlines are already not very good at charging for services that once- upon- a- time were included in the cost of doing business....

AIRLINE SHOULD BE RENAMED “Unsanitary Air” or “Toilet Grab” INSTEAD OF RyanAir.
- Flu/virus/bacteria infection: Removing toilets to make room for more seats...this is definitely a safety sanitary hazard; what if the passengers were all infected by a virus/bacteria resulting in diarrhea, trapped 35000 ft with just one toilet...I wouldn't want to be on that flight.
- Dirty Unsanitary toilets: I guess flight attendants would have to be trained on how to clean and disinfect toilets for scenarios where somebody shit all over the floor or puke all over.
- Smells from over usage: Smells coming from the loft for over usage would be another problem...those poor passengers around the toilet area.
- People that can’t afford toilet usage: Poor families or single mothers/parents flying with kids that need to use the washroom often...could turn out to be expensive...I wouldn't want to be sitting beside a kid that's trying to hold it in...or sit in a seat that a kid peed in because he/she tried to hold it in.
- Money grab: This is bullshit that the CEO is claiming that all the money will go to charity… who’ll track this. Are they going to create a charity and dump the money back to themselves?
- The main point is that toilets were installed for sanitary purposes...removing toilets or creating a barrier preventing people from using ...the air line should call it self "Unsanitary Air" instead of "RyanAir".

CRAPAIR -- CHEAP SEATS , ( BRING OWN PORTAPOTTY)

food for thought:
-Pay to use the toilet or relieve your self in other areas of the plane
-Pee in a bag and leave it under the seat for flight attendant to clean up
-Pee in a cup and call the flight attendant to dispose of it :)
-let your child pee in a corner of the plane so you can spend the money on snacks instead
-if you get a ticket, argue it was life or death...you have to choose to pay for food instead of paying to pee or shit
-lobby so your tax dollars don't go to charities that accept money from this airline
-cites use this as a president to implement pay to use public toilets...actually, this wouldn't be bad, less taxes to pay
- poor people are not allowed to shit or pee in public places
- people include the "let's see when in the plane you can pee or shit other than the toilet" on their "to do" vacation list
- this list goes on and on :))

This man is so greede that he would drain peaplo and scewed him self

Dose he even have an idea what the f*** is he talking about ,and how some one who is that stupid can even find a job

Even considering it(which they're doing) is and has already lost them customers or potential customers. As some have already said here, there's no way in hell I'd use this airlane. =)

Awww, lay off O'Leary already, he's just trying to raise money for his next business trip dubbed, "Up sh*t creek without an airline..."

I wonder if they'll have different rates if you're using the restroom for #1 and #2... how much are they going to charge per square of toilet paper? And is there a surcharge for how many "links" or "pieces" of #2? Are the stewards going to need to verify usage before flushage? What if two people produce as much waste as one person, can they qualify for a 2-for-1 promotion? Will the airline staff have a taxable benefit added to their wages for using restrooms while on the job? Are they going to institute a 2 drink minimum onboard to ensure enough passengers are taking advange of the one on board bathroom?

Well, they're already talked about charging for carry-on... was only a matter of time before some idiot talked about a charge for leave-behind...

Anyone working at Ryanair,... start looking for another job... that kind of a public statement, instituted or not, will cause a bankrupcy... if they are trying to save costs or increase profits by even proposing this outloud in a closed door meeting, let alone publicly, what other areas are they scrimping on (safety?)... one thing is certain, safety aside, their stock is in for a freefall, plummet, and eventual crash...

Is it legal to pee on the floor?

i think this is just plain stupid and ridiculous, these bastards allways try to get money. i hope they go out of buisness fucking loser get a life you rich filthy son of a bitch!
