Got to get that body count up these suckers be falling from the skies. Exponential Madness. Slippery Slope. We're all falling down the mountain, grasping for a short rope. Mass hysteria gaslighting clowns, limp dick leadership. Fly to your vacay as the nukes are dropping. YOLO. A world in denial. The show must go on. Welcome to the world of the billionaire welfare queen. The Liberals open the door for their devil. This was always the case. The Sun whorshippers, breed-like rats and whorship idols. Singing their coping mechanisms of toxic positive optimism. Who the hell needs to watch movies anymore? Clown, clown show, clown show. Capitalism in Crisis, everybody's goose stepping. It's easy to destroy but difficult to build. lowest common denominator.

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?

[–] owl@infosec.pub 1 points 6 days ago

Pilots were asked about the problem and one said "I sen guards to the exits to help with the evacuation."

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?

[–] SanicHegehog@lemm.ee 27 points 1 week ago (7 children)

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

[–] WereCat@lemmy.world 48 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (4 children)

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?

[–] Carrot@lemmy.today 27 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 33 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] Olgratin_Magmatoe@slrpnk.net 29 points 1 week ago (6 children)

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.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 31 points 1 week ago (16 children)

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.
