00:00Did you really want to charge to use toilets on Ryanair Plains? Yes or no?

00:08Yes, but not because I want the money. We give the money away to charge it.

00:12I want to get rid of, we have three toilets. If I can get rid of the two

00:15toilets at the back of the planes I can add six extra seats. With six extra seats

00:18I can lower everybody's airfare by another five percent all year round.

00:21Did you want to make some passengers stand on planes to fit more people in

00:26a la the tube? Yes. How safe is that? Very safe. Funny enough if what we wanted to

00:33do is to take out about the last ten rows of seats. Wait for it, we take out the

00:37last ten rows of seats and we guarantee that the stand down we'd have a standing

00:40cabin and a seated cabin. The seats will be 25 euros, the standing cabin will be one

00:44euro. I guarantee you we will fill the standing cabin first.
