Those scamps over at Ryanair are no doubt still chortling over their CEO&#8217;s idea to raise money by installing pay toilets on the discounter&#8217;s aircraft &#8211; but that&#8217;s not the end of it.
They&#8217;re looking for new ways to charge us &#8211; and they want us to come up with the ideas! But &#8211; at least, [...]]]></description>

<p style="padding-bottom: 8px">Those scamps over at Ryanair are no doubt still chortling over their CEO&#8217;s idea to raise money by <a href="http://rickseaney.com/2009/03/06/gulp-ryanair-is-apparently-serious-about-those-pay-toilets/"><strong>installing pay toilets</strong></a> on the discounter&#8217;s aircraft &#8211; but that&#8217;s not the end of it.</p>
<p style="padding-bottom: 8px">They&#8217;re looking for <em>new</em> ways to charge us &#8211; and they want <em>us</em> to come up with the ideas! But &#8211; at least, they&#8217;ll pay for them &#8211; 1,000 Euros &#8211; which was about $1,289 last time I looked.</p>
<p style="padding-bottom: 8px">Here are some of the ideas already submitted:</p>
<ul>
<li>Charging for toilet paper &#8211; with CEO Michael O&#8217;Leary&#8217;s face on it</li>
<li>Charging to read the safety cards</li>
<li>Charging to use oxygen masks</li>
<li>Charging to use the emergency exit</li>
<li>Charging for bikini clad Cabin Crew</li>
</ul>
<p style="padding-bottom: 8px">Kind of lame &#8211; am sure you can do better but hurry &#8211; <strong>ideas must be submitted to </strong><a href="mailto:competition@ryanair.com"><strong>competition@ryanair.com</strong></a><strong> by March 30.</strong> And if <em>your</em> idea is the winner, <em>we</em> will know who to blame for the next bone-headed fee!</p>
