Standing Room Flying?

"Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary wants passengers to stand on the budget airline’s flights, in a bid to pack in more people and boost profits. Passengers would pay less to huddle next to what have been described as “bar stools”, with seat belts around their waists. O’Leary has already held talks with US plane manufacturer Boeing about designing a jet with standing room. He is now hoping to get the go-ahead from the Irish Aviation Authority before ordering a new fleet. A Ryanair spokesman said: “If they approve it, we’ll be doing it.”

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 (FoxNews)."

I know times are tough for airlines, but this has to be one of the stupidest things I have ever read. Standing on a place in a terrible idea, and "sitting on a bar stool" would be uncomfortable for any flight that is more then an hour or so. Anyways, there is no way this will pass. It just sounds way to dangerous....
