Michael O’Leary, Chief Executive of Ireland’s Ryanair (Research), Europe’s most profitable airline, wants to make air travel free. Not free as in free from regulation, but free as in zero cost. By the end of the decade, he promises, “more than half of our passengers will fly free.”

Not really tech news…but still…this company is cutting cost on EVERYTHING…they eliminated the pocket you normaly find on the back of the seat in front of you, reducing weight, and cleaning times…no free soda or peanuts…cost is $3.50 per item checked through…sure it might seem like all of these extra cost add up in to extra fees you shell out when you fly…but you’re taking a discount on the ticket to start with…think of business travlers who more offten DON’T check their luggage, but rather just keep a small carry-on…then there’s the corporate tie in…selling the outside of the plane to companies to use as their own personal billboards…all of these have little to do with the experience of your flight, but transfer into increased profits and cheaper plane tickets…Welcome to CrzyLand
