You may say this in jest, but RyanAir actually applied for permission to do flights with unseated passengers. Fortunately, we still have an aviation authority (in Norway) wise enough to throw it out, sneering.

They haven't. It's a marketing ploy: throw some crap as PR and see where it sticks

Keeps them on the news as the "thinking of how to make stuff cheaper". Note how this has toned down in the past year or so, because the "as cheap as possible" thing was backfiring on them

No they didn't. It was pure media hogwash from Ryanair that got them lots of column inches of free advertising.
