Im ok with it given it would probably be easier on my back
Ryanair be Like
That's majestic
These standing seats have been coming next year for the past decade, but they always failed safety tests. Planes need to be evacuated within a certain time frame, which does not work when the plane is too densely packed.
Can't they go Middle Earth on them and just create more doors?
Pilots were asked about the problem and one said "I sen guards to the exits to help with the evacuation."
passengers hanging outside not before 2030
How people can look at (mostly) state owned rail vs private airlines and still think the free market benefits the average person is one of life's big mysteries to me.
I mean, Trump won the vote, and Brexit won the vote... Something tells me it's as simple as most people are fucking stupid.
So I guess no putting your head between your knees in the event of a crash then, huh?
The only reason airlines would have you do that in the first place is so you can kiss your ass goodbye.
You need to pass yoga test to afford this seat
Honestly, I'm pretty tall and if it gives more room for my legs, I'd like to have the option
Finally more leg room... But now your head bumps against the ceiling and you need to have your head tilted for the entire flight
Why do you assume there will be leg room?
This. The who point is to cram more seats than they are currently able
Presumably standing seats means standing up? Hopefully not squatting seats.
The lengths the US will go to to avoid building high-speed rail.
This is almost certainly a European thing.
It is a European thing!

Because of course it's Ryanair.
Oh, you want a seat? That's an extra £50. Each. Both ways. Go fuck yourselves.
The EU needs to regulate the fuck out of that shitbag company.
It's a capitalism thing.
Extract as much value as possible. Deliver as little value to your customers as possible. Treat them as second layer of product.
Human needs are not the goal.
Ryanair has no plans to introduce them. (sorry for the metro link).
Also Ireland kind of gets a pass they don't have a rail link to anywhere. A Dublin-Holyhead tunnel would definitely be a good idea.
Why don't they do lay-down-only seats? Seems like you'd save the same amount of space or more with vastly more comfort.
Why don’t they do lay-down-only seats?
Bigger and older passengers would find it more difficult to get into the top bunk than to ride a standing-only seat.
But it's all shit regardless. Boeing can barely even make planes that don't fall apart on the runway. The American airline industry's fleet is increasingly defunct. The FAA is gutted. Airports are falling into disrepare due to mismanagement. You'll be lucky to get any kind of air travel in another decade.
!remindme 10 years
Honestly I didn't even realize until now how good the cropping is on lemmy compared to redd*t. holy shit the number of memes that came from screenshots of twitter screenshotted on insta screenshotted on whatever the fuck but this one was profile.
Solution: bring a cheap plastic chair as part of your luggage
And if the plane fails, jump out of the plane with the chair and sit down/stand up as you're about to hit the ground.
You won't receive any fall damage during the animation.
(Make sure to check patch notes, this is a 2020 update exploit)
There's an idea. Flights that people can make standing, should be banned, except when there is a body of water between the destination.
I'm 6'6". Standing only seats would be preferable to me.
I'm 5'5" and I just know my legs would dangle like a child on their first roller coaster.
Next step - put bicycle seats, reducent material for backs. Then add bicycle pedals for engines, to reduce fuel usage. None said anything about actually reducing ticket price by that, high prices stays forever.

Standard ticket if you generate at least 1KW, otherwise the price goes up if you generate less, with a fine for less then 50W generated during the flight
It sounds quiet ridiculous, but I also had some flights that were so short (~50 min) that it almost took more time to seat everybody. Anyway, I would love to read those safety reports. Not only is sitting better on impact, but also cramping more people in the same machine, means more people (which trend to not comprehend the idea of leaving their luggage behind) share the exit routes.
