Essentially, they want you to lean back against some metal support, probably tying you down with WalMart twine to make sure you don&#8217;t fly through the cabin should they taxi into a commuter bus. Rather than flight attendants, there will be just one white, tobacco-spittin&#8217; Southern overseer with a riding crop to make sure you don&#8217;t &#8220;threaten the safety of the flight&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The economy of scale involved is obvious. But I have a solution for RyanAir and the other airlines: increase fares. We don&#8217;t want our airlines run by Guatemalan discount store owners. We want safety and comfort and a tiny, tiny chance for a civilized travel experience.
