I don’t get it. Why not just have bunk beds and everyone gets to lay down like those sleeper busses in Asia. They get way more people on those busses than with just seats

For what it's worth: this was apparently a concept created by an airline seat company called Aviointeriors who showed the idea off at trade shows in 2010 (as the "SkyRider") and 2018 (as the "SkyRider 2.0" pictured here.) Pretty much all the news articles about it are about Aviointeriors claiming vague unsourced "plans" for them to be adopted by some future date, steeped in Aviointeriors' corporate PR speak, but the articles mostly end up being about the intense public backlash to the idea. No airlines have announced any plans to buy and use these seats, not even those lunatics at RyanAir, and in the years since all SkyRider mentions have been quietly removed from Aviointeriors' own site.

Standing still in place for a few hours is waaay more uncomfortable than pacing and walking around. Shifting the weight on our feet really helps

I can't imagine how awful these would be, especially with how cramped they'd be packed in (otherwise they're no smaller than chairs). God, you couldn't even bend down to scratch your knee.

I remember seeing pictures like this a looking time ago so I'm pretty sure they're fake bait. At best it's an idea somebody prototyped but won't use.

Cowards just need to go all in and hang us under the plane like an overhead roller coaster.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

I'm over 40 and I usually stand up about half of my working day. But I wouldn't want to stand in an airplane because it's cramped.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

I'm tall enough I can't stand up on any plane I've been on in the last several years....

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 hours ago

I'd pay extra to not have to deal with the TSA as well.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

I can’t wait to see people passing out or getting injured because of these seats.

E: plenty of people arguing like people of good health will be the only passengers.

What could go wrong standing for two hours... Nothing probably if you're a healthy young individual

[–] [email protected] -2 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

How fat you would have to be to pass out from standing for 2 hours?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I don't know about how much fat it might take, but my 2 knee surgeries and both my deteriorating hip joints, (been searching eBay for a good used hip joint for cheap), tell me that standing for 2 hours is a painful idea.

They will lock in place and you will be gucci for 10 hours

Afterwards you just ask this 6'3 bear like guy to give you a slight kick and off the ramp you slide out like a newborn out of uterus

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago

Just wait til they stick these on international flights. You'll stand 14 hours and you'll love it, peasant.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

honestly might even be more healthy

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Only if you do it on a regular basis, not a one-shot like this (if you do not stand a lot usually).

Also, Turbulence!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

apparently trombosis is a rather large problem even when flying only occasionally for vacations. That's what I meant.

But yeah, turbulences could give you a headache lol

banana chair

[–] [email protected] 10 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

That's right, girls. Start packing on those pounds because the only airline seat that poops, then lies about it doesn't have farts in the headrest anymore.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 hours ago

I’ve read this repeatedly without any concept of what you’re saying but goddamn is it provocative and gets me going.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

Im ok with it given it would probably be easier on my back

[–] [email protected] 50 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Watch these cost the same as standard seats, and the cost of standard seats go up
