Seat belts on airplanes are useless. That was the latest rant by Michael O’Leary, the chief executive for RyanAir, the ultra-low-cost airline based in Ireland. O’Leary, who opposes seat
belts because he is pushing for standing-room sections of his planes, called aviation authorities who disagree with him “plonkers.” “Seat belts don’t matter,” O’Leary told The Telegraph. “If
there ever was a crash on an aircraft, God forbid, a seat belt won’t save you.” ALSO: American Airlines on-time rating drops during labor dispute FAA recommends seat inspections on some
