Passengers sue Ryanair
Created | Updated Aug 25, 2006
In an unprecedented move, passengers of Ryanair have announced that they are suing the company's management because of new measures the company has taken to cut costs.
Ryanair have recently implemented a charging scheme for any items put into the baggage hold. David Gaynor, a passenger on the Birmingham-Malaga flight, was told he had to bring his pet elephant onboard or else pay 600 quid. "It's ok though", said David - "she did a bit of hoovering during the flight - so it gave the flight crew a bit of a break".
In another announcement, the airline is planning to remove seats on all it's planes. "Standing room only from now on - that way we can pack 400 people onto each flight". Metal poles will be used for passengers to grip on to during take-off and landing. "While the plane is at rest we hope to further increase revenues by using them for lapdancing shows", a spokesman indicated. Members of the flight crew have already been asked to purchase sexy underwear just in case.
Also, Ryanair has recently announced a plan "to fly anywhere we goddamn like" without giving passengers any indication of the destination in advance. A recent test in Northern Ireland, where the plane landed in a different airport, was very successful in this regard, inside sources claim.
A spokesman for the passenger group SMOLU (Shut Michael O'Leary Up) called the situation a "shambles", and said "If we allow these restrictions to stay in place, then we will have handed the extremist airlines an enormous PR victory."
The CEO of Ryanair, Michael O'Leary, in a carefully worded statement, had this to say on the situation. "You can all freak off and die".
