Unfortunately, you may have to travel first-class to do that on many routes. I like saving money as much as anyone but is that the only thing that matters? The arrangement does not look particularly safe for turbulence or an emergency landing. -- James Silverton Potomac, Maryland Email, with obvious alterations: not.jim.silverton.at.verizon.not |

This article is nothing but evidence that even in this world economy (or maybe because of it), there are people with way too much time to doodle bizarre ideas and write about them. Theres 0% chance anything like this would ever get regulatory approval; no back support, no way to properly belt in the passengers, and the aisles would never pass an evacuation test. Now the drawings at the end, of the "standing seats" might be feasible (note that you stand/lean against a platform, presumably with straps/belts, and it looks like it has a flip up stool). Might actually be more comfortable and easier to maneuver in/out of for taller folks than a seat. Josh |
