Ryanair

Ryanair are a horrendously cheap airline. By cutting costs at every possible corner they offer surprisingly low fares.

The advertised rate is often a bit deceptive - sneaky taxes etc are added on - "bait and switch" is the advertising paradigm I believe. Nonetheless - they are hard to resist.

I can not believe that this was a serious thought - it would only be a matter of hours before someone shat in the aisle in a fit of pique. Cleaning this up would bugger up their already tight flight time logistics for days to come.
