Ryanair, a go-to airline for Europeans jet-setting on a dime, is known for cheap fares, stripped-down services and some wacky moneymaking ideas/publicity stunts. The Irish company originated the carry-on baggage fees that are becoming increasingly common, but their latest money-making scheme is raising some eyebrows.

The company’s CEO Michael O’Leary told British tabloid The Sun, “I’m not talking about having it on screens on the back of seats for everyone to see. It would be on handheld devices.” Which is highly preferable to hands-free when you’re discussing this particular niche market.
