First it'll be the seats. Next they will remove the floor. Now it's one of those dangling roller coaster rides without rails! π
Apart from the deadly practicalities, and the boring route, that does sound kinda fun ngl.
I hate air travel so much. I have non-local family so deal with a single r/t per year, but that's about my limit.
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.
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.
Watch these cost the same as standard seats, and the cost of standard seats go up

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.
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
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 Β£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.
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.
The serious non-joke answer is the same as the one for these standing seats: emergency exit speed. When an airplane crash lands you have like less than 2 minutes to get everyone out before the huge inferno happens and roasts people. So for standing seats that pack even more people into an airplane, they have to prove that they can still get everyone out before the deadline. For laying-down seats they would have to prove the same thing.
Another emergency door can't be that expensive
Honestly, that may actually be more comfortable for me than trying to fold my legs into the tiny rows they have now.
