Airline Toilet Charge

This is funny.

Ryanair’s proposal to introduce a £1 toilet charge is not only legal; it is being taken seriously by pilots.

The airline’s chief executive, Michael O’Leary, announced this morning that the carrier is looking into fitting coin slots to the toilet doors of its aircraft. Passengers would have to pay £1 to use the loo.

According to the Civil Aviation Authority, which regulates the aviation industry in the UK, Ryanair would not be breaking the law by introducing the charge.

A spokesman told Times Online: “The situation is that there is no legal requirement for an aircraft to have a toilet onboard, so if an airline does have a toilet they can charge to use it.

Imagine for a moment that you have to go and you've spent all your money on the airline ticket. What do you do?

One incident of a passenger dropping a loaf in the aisle would be enough to encourage the airline executives to rethink this ludicrous idea.
