I would trust them in terms of safety for the 7 hour flight.

However I would not like to spend 7 hours with the pople on the aircraft in a cramped cabin.

I think low-cost has its place, long haul is not for low-cost the way it is today.
If Ryanair want to develop a new concept I am all for it but it can't put its current product on the market for transatlantic flights.

How do they get $12 flights and turn a profit?

I personally believe that in europe or really anywhere, a flight of 1-3 hours is bearbale in the easyjet or Ryanair style, however people still fly normal commerical flights and I dont think there will be enough demand to get a full plane each time if your flyign out of stanstead to another second tier airport. If you have been on a plane for 7 ish hours, the last thing you want is to be in an airport far from the city or an airport with small amount of connections.
