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."

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

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.

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

Even for the people who would get off on that, their joy would turn to frustration when the flight attendant asked them to stop masturbating.

I don't absolutely hate it, but I'm 6'3", so fully stretching my legs out on a plane is always just a pipe dream.

I'm sure they'd make them fit only average size people, unfortunately.

I think they should just have rows of bunk beds. It's much easier to stack something flat than people with their awkward bends at the hips and knees.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 51 points 1 year ago

unsurprisingly the ship and train industry figured this shit out like literally a century ago

[–] Rhaedas@kbin.social 22 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

The airlines can maximize that idea as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooks_(1781_ship)#/media/File:Slaveshipposter.jpg

Window seat dude needs to take a piss, watch the fun ...

Also, why the fuck is she smiling?!

[–] BlameThePeacock@lemmy.ca 41 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think these only go down the center based on the photo.

She's smiling because she's being paid to smile.

One day they'll invent super-economy class where you just get strapped to the wings and released over your destination. Parachutes will cost extra.

As someone who doesn't have claustrophobia, I feel claustrophobic just looking at this. Then again, I've never been on a plane before, and for all I know this might be better :/

at that point just give me general anaesthesia and put me in an airline shipping coffin so at least i don't have to be conscious for the horror show

Someone somewhere just pulled out some graph paper and is sketching a concept.

Paid model or executive. They're trying to sell the concept.

"why do people prefer trains??"

[–] Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Honestly I wish that was the case in the US.

For most people, trains are not a alternative.

Often trains cost more. Many train stations are messes and share space with busses.

[–] tdawg@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I desperately want to take a train anywhere. BUT

A) It always costs at least as much as a plane but often much much more

B) it's slower than driving!

C) the stops are so limited you basically have to follow major coastal cities or you're SOL

Literally if any of these three things were changed I would take weekend trips all the time

No, wait. This is actually not a bad idea.

Look closely. First of all there's a rigid barrier between the lower and upper seat. That means that fart gasses won't get through, unlike current seats where farts just spread everywhere around a person, so only the upper seats will be affected.

Second, the lady has her feet up, meaning she has enough leg room to do so. This is a big advantage because you can kick your feet up on your underseat baggage while you sleep or stretch your legs. It's much better than the current layout where you can barely move at all.

No offense, but I think anyone with a negative opinion of this layout is wrong.

Seems happy to be probably smelling some bodies vacation diet farts for an entire international flight. Imagine the farts you'll be subjected to sitting under somebody who spent a week in Indonesia or Thailand absorbing the spicy local cuisine.

There are laws regulating how to transport pigs and cows to the slaughterhouse. They have more space than the passengers on this plane.

[–] ydieb@lemm.ee 17 points 1 year ago (5 children)

As a taller person, if this gives me sufficient legroom and a seat that actually distributes the weight over my whole thighs such that I can sit somewhat comfortable, this seems like a major upgrade to me.

The sadness really hits when you see this was last year, and not 1991 where the concept should have stayed.
