I wonder why the idea did not catch on?

Good idea about different pods for each difficult class of pax or even one for all the classes with the interaction used to feed the IFE. ribrash I agree about not happening any time soon.

I can hear O'Leary licking his lips - loads of possibilities there! 1) Pay to get into the pod? 2) Pay to get out of the pod? 3) The biggest on-board collection gets to choose where the pod is left. (I was going to say 'dropped off' but that is too much information for Michael.) =))

Answers on a RyanAir scratchcard please.

But never less than 50 miles from where the passengers actually expected to be!
