    Not that it should have to be either or, but I’ll take less leg room over their gross smoke-filled cabin any day.

      It’s going to be standing seats before too long. All the airline CEOs have been drooling over those for years.

        It’ll probably radically shift to laying down. They’ve wanted to bring this seating arrangement back for a lot longer

          I want to punch the person that came up with this idea and forced the engineers to design it

        Do like the standing roller coasters! Then we can just use AI to fly the planes (no need for high cost/high stressed pilots). If the AI flies like shit, everyone is already secured with metal shoulder thingies to keep from flying (pun intended) all over the cabin.

        But how to deal with bathroom breaks? Mandatory catheters! The cost of “sanitizing” between flights surely isn’t that much, and if people refuse - they can be held liable for any accidents.

          They’ll sometimes hand you a small off brand clorox wipe to clean of the catheter before you use it
