Michael O'Leary must be salivating!
I hate to say it, but it reminds me of the accommodations on a slave ship. With slightly more room.
. . .

Personally I think it is all in "Restraint of Trade". This industry has a 'choke hold' on our commerce and is helping to erode civility.
I squawked recently that the aircraft industry is getting their seating (stowage) ideas from the slave ships in 1790. See drawings in the following link:
