Why don’t they raise fares a pound and advertise, “Includes one free trip to the crapper!”

They were chatting this up on Fox and Friends this morning, and the one weekend guy was “pissed” about this....swore he’d load up on a gutful of asparagus and pee in the aisle, if he were to face that.
And what are they going to do if you won’t/can’t pay? Let you do it in your seat or on the tray table?
I suspect this won’t get very far with the FAA and other regulatory agencies. My guess would be that it’s against regs to operate the aircraft without a working toilet, in which case I doubt they can charge for its use. Who knows though. It’s ObamaWorld now. Nothing would surprise me!
So if the idiot who just used the can ahead of me farted so much that a foul brown cloud formed, sh*t all over the seat, blew his nose in the sink, and never bothered to flush, I should have to pay for the privilege???
Go surplus with your surplus !
...just be glad they can’t roll down the windows like truckers with their pee bombs !

The customers will decide if the lower price of the ticket is worth it.
My guess is that they will decide that it is not.
It is one thing for them not to feed you on a less then four hour hop or charge for anything besides water to drink but this takes things a little too far. Next they will try to charge you a separate fee for the air you inhale.
hen I go to the bathroom on a plane ,I get in and get out, because i realise the accomadations are needed by others. If I have to pay I sure wouldnt rush myself.
I read this a couple of days ago and people were po’d then they read the last paragraph,
“Michael makes a lot of this stuff up as he goes along and while this has been discussed internally there are no immediate plans to introduce it.’’
well if he really wants to make some money-on long flights he’ll give out free beer, and then charge $4 to use the head. (As Archie Bunker once said, “you know the problem with beer is you can’t really buy it you can only rent it”)
I might tend to “miss” when I have to pay if you know what I mean.
They should implement what economists call “inverse-elasticity” pricing or “Ramsey pricing”, in which you charge more to those who really need (and thus value) the service. So, if your back teeth were floating, for example, you’d pay more than a passenger who was merely in doubt as to whether they could make it to the terminal after landing.

A cat crapper is very, very selective where the deposit is made and covered.
A dog crapper deposits anywhere.
We need more dog crappers in this world, particularly on RyanAir.
