Everytime I see these I always take solace in one simple fact. This would never be able to pass any disability or accessibility act.

"We'll just put the disabled passengers in the cargo hold. Problem solved."

[-] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 13 points 1 year ago

If I pretend to be disabled can I fly there too?

[-] squiblet@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

free sedation! *with service charge

[-] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I'll pay extra for good drugs

[-] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 1 year ago

... I could fly with my dog then? (I've not traveled with her, because being alone in the cargo sounds like a torment I would not wish on anyone). But if I can be there, too, that's a whole other scenario

Not to mention safety requirements for rapidly escaping a plane in the event of an emergency

[-] BlameThePeacock@lemmy.ca 29 points 1 year ago

They only put them down the center with regular seats along the windows.

First class, second class, cargo class.

[-] Stamets@startrek.website 18 points 1 year ago

I'm gonna be real, I totally forgot that planes have middle lanes. Every plane that I've ever been on has been a relatively small in comparison. Some of them fucking frighteningly so. When my knees are touching the back of the pilot I'm usually having concerns other than the legroom.

These will not see the light of day until the industry coughs up enough money to buy off enough legislation oversight to make the FAA egress rules "agreeable".

Imagine trying to evacuate in a rush. Also, deep vein thrombosis.

If you can't afford business class seats, are you even worth saving?

Dvt would likely be less of an issue with your legs out vs bent at the knee. Less gravity for your heart to fight against.

[-] dingus@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

DVT is an issue if you're immobile for any decent length of time. Your position doesn't really matter too much. That's why they want you up and walking immediately as soon as possible after a surgery and why they will often put patients with an extended stay in the hospital on blood thinners.

[-] squiblet@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

True, though it would be horrifically uncomfortable to be forced to sit like that for 4 hours without the ability to shift positions.

[-] DancingIsForbidden@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

True, though it would be horrifically uncomfortable to be forced to ~~sit like that for 4 hours without the ability to shift positions.~~ have your nose so close to somebody's fart hole who just spent an hour at the airport's cold stone creamery for an international flight.

Is this what you meant?

God, that's totally true. I can't imagine how they would try to make that work.
