Nobody would know the farter though

Sardine class



If you were desperate to get out of, say 1975 Saigon, these would look pretty damn good.  Ordinarily, however, I think the market would reject them lickety-split, as seems to be happening.  But - as we've recently learned, it takes just a few elected officials, greased by a few greennik locos,  to go "mandatory."  What a good reason, patriotic even,  to go on a 5000 calorie diet. Pass the milk shake.

Safety guidelines, huh?
On landing, tire blows, plane skids off runway, fire starts in wing. How many sardines will be able to unass those 'seats' and get to an exit in time? (don't forget there will be half again as many sardines as before)
Pity is, there isn't even enough room to bend over and kiss your ass goodbye.
The usual clusterfuck of boarding and stowing *spit* carryon *spit* baggage will be 50% worse too.
Any airline that adopts this concept will lose customers and spiral down the bowl faster.
If you see an elderly hitchhiker somewhere between Virginia and Florida, have mercy. It will be me.

Yesss. I just did a Memphis-SFO-Memphis to watch my son commit matrimony. Everything Tailgunner says is true. They don't call 'em Cattle Cars for nothing, and this "charge for a bag, carry-ons are free" is one of the worst ideas yet.

And I can't believe the number of people that fly wearing shorts and flip-flops.

Shorts and flipflops are a function of getting through TSA posts quickly.

Those seats need to be banned as a simple safety hazard. If a seat makes it difficult to get out of a burning airliner, it needs to not land in the US.

I was just thinking, those 'seats' costs $ thousands each, weigh maybe thirty lbs., and would obstruct emergency egress. Why not just install hanger straps like there were on old busses and street cars? Boarding that arrangement would provide jobs for out of work Japanese subway packers.
I'm an economic genius, saving and creating tens of jobs.

To be licensed, any airplane have to be evacuated in "X" amount of time.

To compensate for the slower movement of people, emergency exits will have to be doubled in number and
size, raising the weight of the airframe to a point where any benefit
of the extra number of passenger will be nullified unless you increase the size of the wings and
engines...think Airpus 380..
Also called "Reductio ad absurdum"

That beaner jackass salesman is no doubt some leftard joker whose
life is dedicated to bash Americans!

So, now we have Basic class: Let's just skip right to Unconscious class; they knock you out and stack you like cord wood for the duration of the flight.
