I thought weight used to be an issue with these large metal things in the sky.

I’ve seen this first hand on Ariana Afghan Airlines, but without seatbelts or stools. Instead, just grab onto the piles of luggage in the back of the plane and hang on!

I’d do it, if they had some decent beers on tap.

O’Leary got the idea from Chinese airline Spring,

That's all you need to know! Feeling a bit 'leery' yourself flying in such a clap trap?

This sounds like a job for Japanese subway packers.

Obviously, this must refer to flights in the UK of 40 minutes or less.

Typical incompetent story, not mentioning that crucial detail.

I just don't see this for transatlantic flights, if it allowed at all.

For a quick flight I would do it, not a long one.

Heck I don’t have enough life insurance as it is, if it did go down at least the wife will make out okay.

Reminds me of a “Bloom County” cartoon, in which Opus, the penguin, can’t find his seat, only to find that he had been sold the toilet seat. Just as he starts to think the flight may not be too bad, a remarkably obese woman arrives to share the lavatory.
