Ryanair be Like
That’s majestic
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.
I mean, Trump won the vote, and Brexit won the vote… Something tells me it’s as simple as most people are fucking stupid.
If people actually pay for this it’s on them
If it catches on, these seats will be the base price and seated places will become premium. It will impact everyone that travels by plane.
Of course. How else are they going to advertise $10 tickets to Florida?
And so the enshitiffication of air travel continues!
passengers hanging outside not before 2030
This looks like a pain in the balls in case of turbulence
Some would probably enjoy some turbulence in their ass.
Honestly, I’m pretty tall and if it gives more room for my legs, I’d like to have the option
Is that fetterman?
Is he a drooling clown in a hoodie and shorts?
Finally more leg room… But now your head bumps against the ceiling and you need to have your head tilted for the entire flight
Same answer as above
Most people can’t stand outside of the aisle because this area is meant to be seated (so they put storage space above the head). If the area outside the aisle is meant to be stood (not sure of my english), and they don’t remove the storage above the head, people are in their right to luigi those decision makers.
*stood -> standing
I stand corrected
I have to lean sideways anyway because my shoulders are too broad and the side of the plane is round.
There’s so much about flying that sucks as a big person.
My knees are folded up to my chest. I’m leaning to the right to stay off the fuselage. I can’t be in an aisle seat because I’m in the way of the crew, and I have to lean forward the whole time because someone is in the seat next to me. And that person hates me.
My dread of the flying experience is why I never go on vacations.
Why do you assume there will be leg room?
This. The who point is to cram more seats than they are currently able
Presumably standing seats means standing up? Hopefully not squatting seats.
Is this gonna be another stand vs. squat debate?
I’ve always imagined it would be like the seats on a stand-up rollercoaster, which are admittedly pretty comfortable; but if they don’t allow you to adjust the height, it could be hell for both short and tall people
Will the height be adjustable? Otherwise the sitting thing will be either way to low or poking the backs of most people.
Insert short people dangling from them like kids from walkers xD
If you can stand up in a plane outside of the aisle, you’re not tall.
No idea who fetterman is, I just image-searched “tall man in plane”
That’s right, girls. Start packing on those pounds because the only airline seat that poops, then lies about it doesn’t have farts in the headrest anymore.
I’ve read this repeatedly without any concept of what you’re saying but goddamn is it provocative and gets me going.
… idk if I preferred ignorance BUT the 3 seconds of that video that made it all make sense was a beautiful insight into your mind.
So I guess no putting your head between your knees in the event of a crash then, huh?
Maybe they could replace that with a noose that comes down next to the oxygen. Then, if you get claustrophobic, you get off the plane any time you want.
That would require assisted suicide to be legal.
The only reason airlines would have you do that in the first place is so you can kiss your ass goodbye.
Not true.
I suppose it’s to protect your head from possible flying debris?
More too protect your teeth so they can identify via dental records
It’s to prevent you from becoming flying debris
It’s a play on put your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye as in it’s not going to help you no matter what
Do you not know of Captain Sulemburger
The ‘ol Marylin Manson
You need to pass yoga test to afford this seat
banana chair
Im ok with it given it would probably be easier on my back
For what it’s worth: this was apparently a concept created by an airline seat company called Aviointeriors who showed the idea off at trade shows in 2010 (as the “SkyRider”) and 2018 (as the “SkyRider 2.0” pictured here.) Pretty much all the news articles about it are about Aviointeriors claiming vague unsourced “plans” for them to be adopted by some future date, steeped in Aviointeriors’ corporate PR speak, but the articles mostly end up being about the intense public backlash to the idea. No airlines have announced any plans to buy and use these seats, not even those lunatics at RyanAir, and in the years since all SkyRider mentions have been quietly removed from Aviointeriors’ own site.
Sources:
The fact this company is still around makes me think someone with a lot of money is trying to promote the concept every so often just to see if the public might finally accept this ludicrous idea. A company being around for 15 years with 0 sales and just a concept means someone wants this to happen but thinks the only problem is that they haven’t figured out the right pitch.
The company sells normal airplane seats and has been around for a long time. This pitch seems to have been an unsuccessful attempt to create a new market they could rule with their crappy invention.
You say crappy, I say wait. My knees won’t have to bend so much. I’d actually take this if I didn’t have kids
You need to fly somewhere? Okay, fuck you.
Edit: wasn’t there just a story about how they are going to offer first class seats with five windows? I guess it is just gods and slobs now.
I can’t wait to see people passing out or getting injured because of these seats.
E: plenty of people arguing like people of good health will be the only passengers.
What could go wrong standing for two hours… Nothing probably if you’re a healthy young individual
People are often advised to not lock their knees for a long time while standing (ex: marching band, or standing at attention in the military), and you cannot force anyone to have healthy posture. The ergonomics of these seats appear to take some of the load off the legs and feet, but it’s something to consider for patrons with more sedentary lifestyles. Many people believe themselves to be fit individuals until they are placed in uncomfortable conditions for a long time or experience unexpected stress. They could manage to injure themselves in some way, then find some reason to litigate.
honestly might even be more healthy
See, this is an example of Hopium. Or toxic positive optimism. Tech Bro shit. But I think you’re joking. I hope you’re joking.
Only if you do it on a regular basis, not a one-shot like this (if you do not stand a lot usually).
Also, Turbulence!
apparently trombosis is a rather large problem even when flying only occasionally for vacations. That’s what I meant.
But yeah, turbulences could give you a headache lol
How fat you would have to be to pass out from standing for 2 hours?
Right? And we should just take all the unfit people and just put them in camps and create a perfect society, right? Like, I get angry at America for being so fat, but not because they’re fat. I get angry at how far down the pipeline we have gone of lowest common denominator thinking. To the point where we just eat poisonous food that our body doesn’t know how to process and just stores as fat. Also, capitalism is in crisis. With lowest common denominator thinking add a little slippery slope and the power in the hands of the few with a sprinkling of toxic positive optimism with the cherry of Hopeium and now we’ve got out of touch shithead sundae. I mean, people are claustrophobic and, you know, I think the claustrophobic element makes it even worse when you’re crammed with other people. Some of the outbursts that we see on planes is not just people losing their minds, but it’s also that people are crampacked in a plane. I can see a lot more mental episodes with this type of seating Structure. And I get angry at society cheering on diminishing returns for the working class, while the billionaires are making money over hand over fist. They justify rich people to be in charge of things and to profit, but they still have yet to innovate and give us the future that they said they were going to. We’re being lied to and this is just an example of you getting dominated.
Just wait til they stick these on international flights. You’ll stand 14 hours and you’ll love it, peasant.
I don’t know about how much fat it might take, but my 2 knee surgeries and both my deteriorating hip joints, (been searching eBay for a good used hip joint for cheap), tell me that standing for 2 hours is a painful idea.
They will lock in place and you will be gucci for 10 hours
Afterwards you just ask this 6’3 bear like guy to give you a slight kick and off the ramp you slide out like a newborn out of uterus
So would I need up upgrade to First Class to get that kind of service?
I was kicked out of the plane in any class. I don’t think this is class dependent.
It speeds things up if you put a Burger King hat on and enact a scene out of 19th century cotton farm plantations.
People will literally jump to fix your joints for free. Thats how much they love classic American themes
I’m skinny and I’ll pass out in less than an hour. Have severe POTS from EDS, heart went into asystole after 35 minutes into a tilt table test and they had to put me back down. I’ve passed out several times in other settings.
So you got a skip journey button and you say this is a bad thing?
For a second I thought “Low quality cropping” was a new c/ being announced.
It could be
Watch these cost the same as standard seats, and the cost of standard seats go up
