That was my first thought. But since it’s an Irish airline and if they never enter US airspace, the FARs may never come into play.

How about the India option just pack them on top of the wings and fuselage!

If they pack them in tight enough they won't be able to move during turbulance.

I stand on my Korean flights.
14 hours from US to Japan.
I usually get a row 63 seat, right in front of the toilets.
The, you can stand up, go behind your seat and push it waaaay forward.
I often stand 7 or 8 hours for those flights.

In event of depressurization, masks will drop from the ceiling above the seats. Standing room only passengers will be revived at a lower altitude if possible. Remember, Ryanair charges your next of kin a $50 body recovery fee.

I flew from RDU to DEN a few years ago. Four hour flight.
It was a small twin jet, maybe a Bombardier, don’t recall.
Anyway, the seats were like concrete and distorted shape.
Myself and about a dozen passengers finally stood up in the aisle to get some relief from the awful seats.
Spent about half the flight standing.

Um, who will pay for the fuel?
And the pilots?
And the ground crew?
And the plane?
Free? LOL! Why stop there?
Why not ask if they would fly if they paid them to fly?

It would be like selling coffins on an airplane. Judging by what I've heard of them, if Ryanair were to hear your idea they may try to steal it.

At least then the jerk in front of me won't recline his seat until he's lying down in my lap, pinning me to my seat, which I refuse to recline more than a few degrees (if at all) out of respect for the person behind me.
I mean, it's a 3-hour flight. If someone can't even SIT that long, then sheesh, book a Medivac flight.

I dont need a 64 350 lb offensive tackle becoming a flying bulldozer in the air during turbulenceI'd take my chances. Better that than have him be a seatmate and you're either smashed against the window or sandwiched between him and someone the size of, oh, say, the next surgeon general.
