standing in economy?

imho i think this is risky and potentially dangerous idea. it just shows how airlines are more concerned with money than with passengers.

Not sure I'd be up for long haul on that basis [:0]

This is surely a joke, isn't it [:0]

Heres the picture idea for it

Nick

Spot on...never find me on an airline with those "seats"

Well is directed at Asian flights according to CNN Headline news. Not really bad for a short hop.

That is truly unbelievable!

Thanks,

Mad mad mad mad mad!

I've got a very sore back today, and that actually looks like a very comfortable option.... Of course there's a limit to the length of the flight I'd want to do. However, if securely strapped in I reckon I could sleep better than in a Y seat![:o)]

Actually - the more I think of it - COOL!!! [^][^] [y]

Get a decent harness on that thing, and let's go play [}:)]

Till you hit the first bit of heavy turbulence and your knee's start taking a pounding.

Thinking about it a little,could be fun on a very short hop,but anything over 30 mins and forget it,oh and where would the luggage bins go? would I have to pay extra for an extra headroom seat?

Im not going on that!

We have already done it, Paul. ;)[:o)][}:)]

Yeah and you didn't look that thrilled about it,now think about doing that for an hour !

This is stupid. Animal cargo gets better conditions than this. I wonder if these breaches any companies H&S policies as my company's are very strict and I think it would be a fine line.

Paul

Makes me wonder what they'd label this class[:(]

[Bazz]

No Way! It it had been publish on April 1st I would have sworn it was an April Fool scam.

Madness.....[:I]

I don't know - the idea of my son being strapped in with a harness sounds quite attractive to me - as long as it came with a padlock!!

I assume this will currently apply to asian carriers that like to pack them in on short hops. Of course it does set a worrying trend - still interesting times are ahead!

Apparently this is all not true [:0]

Register story here here

even though its not true i bet some airliners will think about it

We have already done it, Paul. ;)[:o)][}:)]

Nick

But did anyone remember the handcuffs???
