Pay-for-loo

[B.J.]

At the rate they're going, airlines will soon start charging passengers extra if they want an actual seat with a seatbelt. They'll make everyone stand around and hold on for dear life because they can squeeze in a few extra passengers and save costs.

A couple of airlines have actually been looking at "standing" airline seats.

You'll notice that there's no room left for overhead *or* underseat stowage. I don't think an airline would last very long if they told people they could only check bags and have no carry-ons.

Yeah i've been to pay toilets before, when my family and i went to Mexico. I'd rather not have to pay to poop on a plane.

I paid for toilets in Mexico, too. After giving them my quarter, then seeing what the bathroom looked like, I had never felt so cheated!

I'm suddenly reminded of Urinetown: The Musical.

Being the feral beast that I am, I'm already kind of in a place where I feel like going wherever and whenever I want. At least there'd be some fiscal justification for it if you had to start paying for the proper facilities everywhere.
