Ryanair defends use of ‘sky oars’ in new sub-economy ‘Galley’ class.
Ryanair has robustly defended the introduction of ‘sky oars’ in their new sub-economy class. Each oar is operated by a row of three passengers and the designer, Patrick from Marketing, thinks they could help propel the aircraft. Stripped to the waist and heavily manacled, passengers in the new ‘Galley’ class can expect to save up to 20% on the price of a ticket. (Newsbiscuit.)
Hmm. As this deals with Ryanair, it is difficult to establish whether this is likely to be 'troof or spoof'. I am slightly inclined towards the former.
