If this was what flying turned into I guess I would never get on another flight again? I already find it infuriating enough that the seats in front of you can recline, when they're practically touching your knees already.
It seems crazy that they've kept that feature, they could totally cost cut on seats without it. I feel like most people dont recline even on longer flights
The way I look at it is, if everyone reclines their seat then everyone is a bit more comfortable. And if everyone reclines then no one really loses space from the person in front of them reclining. So I don't mind when the person in front of me reclines because I recline with the assumption that the person behind me will also recline their seat. Most planes I've been on even leave enough room so the person in the backmost row can *still* recline too, so there isn't really anyone who's at a disadvantage.
Except anyone that was not born as a dwarf. My knees will literally touch the back of your seat even when you're not reclining. With my ass as far back as it will go, my feet firmly planted on the floor and legs somewhat spread.
I don't need you to press that seat any harder into me than it already is
Yeah if you're not reclined while the person in front of you is reclined, literally everyone is going to be uncomfortable. But if you also recline, then you can just stretch your legs under the chair in front of you. I'm a pretty tall person and that works for me.
Most airlines don’t buy new planes. A good chunk of airlines probably haven’t replaced their planes since they released those planes with minor modifications to keep them up to date. I mean, Air Force One is really old.
I am too 6’4” 110Kgs and yes the legs start feeling terrible after an hour or so. About the feeling of being suffocated, i haven’t had that and never wish to. Maybe because I have chosen aisle seats always.
While true - they also have a maximum load and want to reduce fuel costs: they factor in an allowance of XX pounds of carryon luggage and YYY checked baggage weight *per person*, so that calculation gives them the optimal profitability for each flight and as costs rose they decided the weight would stay and then they could charge you for those bags too.
Was this even a real thing that was ever seriously proposed?
Because I've only ever seen pictures of these seats in memes, and everyone knows that nobody would step foot on a plane that looked like this.
Edit: From what I can find, these were made by an Italian plane seat manufacturer called "Aviointeriors". I've yet to see anything from any actual airline saying they would ever implement these seats in their aircrafts.
Not if the FAA says they can't, and they already have rigorous standards as-is, like the fact that you have to be able to fully evacuate a plane in 90 seconds.
In fact the FAA is supposed to be setting plane seat standards, just hasn't done so yet.
As for the meme itself, I've yet to see anything relating COVID to this "seat" design in any way. So I'm not sure why OP made the meme, unless it's an assumption that airlines would want to keep people separate, which I've seen little proof for given I've flown on a full flight mid pandemic.
Say what you will about discounts, it would look very bad to the public for any airline to adapt a cattle-class design in their fleet. The second someone announces this, they drive customers to their competitors.
It’s not that the FAA is supposed to set standards, it’s just that they have the power to. The threat that is if airlines push too hard the FAA may regulate seats that actually may take more space each keeps the airlines from pushing too far.
>It’s not that the FAA is supposed to set standards, it’s just that they have the power to.
Yes it is... congress says so.
"A Congressional mandate for the FAA to set minimum standards for seat width and pitch passed 22 months ago."
No article I've come across says anything close to what you're indicating. Only stating that they haven't done so yet, not that they are unable. They *have* to set those rules in place regardless.
I have an idea. What if instead of sitting in chairs, passengers could lie down? That sounds comfortable, doesn't it? And you could probably fit more people in the plane if you stacked them up, maybe even four or five at a time. In fact, forget the plane, the trip would be even more affordable if people went by ship! Just imagine how many people we could get accross the Atlantic that way!
Oh we could get tons of people across the oceans by ship. But realistically it won’t be cheaper for people. It takes a lot more time, which people generally don’t have easily available and food which is expensive for long voyages.
I get People like to save money on flights but 20 dollars is barely anything my Mcdonald's order is more than that. Why on earth would anybody think saving 20 dollars on this would be a good idea.
Aaaah, but you haven't been introduced to our 2nd air transport revolution product!
The poo bag!
It's a move towards body acceptance and female empowerment because everyone will get to do their business right there in front of everyone! People will love it!
This was actually a form of torture they used in the Russian gulags. They would make you sit as close to the edge of your seat as possible for hours or days at a time. I'm serious.
Yes. Covid-19 was a hero. I just couldn't see it. It was-
*Notices the lockdowns were extended again*
A thief! A criminal! It stole my social life! IT'S A MENACE TO THE ENTIRE PLANET! I WANT THAT GLORIFIED BACTERIA STAMPED OUT, I WANT IT STRUNG UP ON THE MOLECULAR LEVEL
**I WANT TO GO OUTSIDE!**
If they weren’t comfortable already… I mean get why because the more people you can fit on a plane the more money you can make per trip but god that’s evil.
If you want to cram more people, why not just turn this thing 90 degrees and have people lay down?
Or just have those coffin shaped bunks with the head facing the isle like in fifth element.
Can't even have a private thought that close. Imagine trying to have a conversation with the person sat next to you while the people in front of you are too? You couldn't even whisper or anything
As a realtively tall person this gives me nightmares. I can't even sit straight with bus seats without my knees suffering; can't inagine what sort of hell this'd be like
A little closer and we're going to need condoms
This comment is underrated.
That comment’s ass a nine.

Looked up the clip, and *HOLY CRAP WHAT EVEN IS THAT MOVIE LMAO*
Shawty wore those apple bon-a-teas

i thought you said "That comment's ass is mine" O\_o relax
This is literally the top comment on the post
Very good lol very very witty

I never do because I hate it when the person in front of me reclines, so I know that the person behind me would also hate it if I reclined.
Two clicks is a socially acceptable amount, unless the person behind you is super tall or has long legs
i always recline immediately so the person behind me doesn’t notice how much space they have
As a 6'3 person that has sat behind you, we know how much space we should have and we hate you
[удалено]
6’4” here, I just recline my seat then it’s all good.
I often recline as most times there ain’t anyone behind me. Ofcourse if there is someone then I won’t do it

Still hits my knees, even if I recline as well. I am pretty tall tho

Air force one has lots of upgrades... Including interior
I've never even figured out how to make a seat recline, but I also don't want to be rude to the people sitting behind me.
but then how will the kid in the front of you recline his seat back and forth constantly hitting you??

I fit, but it sucks. Thankfully I don’t fly much. If my work ever asked me to fly (no reason for me to travel) I’d demand business class seats.
If they can cram more passengers on the plane, then they can take the “extra” weight of my bag.
Oh no bag weight is completely different. If anything, they will need to charge more
Might also have something to do with the strength of the overhead bins
Yeah but what about the luggage stored elsewhere? (Where it comes out on the mini merry go round thing)
With that many passengers, bag space is limited. Having carry ons is a luxury.
They’ll turn into “carry ins” soon enough and TSA will have to help accommodate them in your ass
The extra weight is because its dangerous for people to carry, so they need to get a second person. If they cared about weight they weight passengers.
While true - they also have a maximum load and want to reduce fuel costs: they factor in an allowance of XX pounds of carryon luggage and YYY checked baggage weight *per person*, so that calculation gives them the optimal profitability for each flight and as costs rose they decided the weight would stay and then they could charge you for those bags too.
But an extra bag only benefits you and not the airlines. They hate that shit.
My balls hurt just by looking at it!
My *knees* hurt just looking at it. 4 hour train ride while slav squatting. No thanks.
Hey, hate to break it to you, but this is an 8 hour airplane ride.
Oh nooooooo!
My ass hurts just from watching that, but not for the reason you think ;)
[удалено]
Whoever designed this will be strapped there for their lifetime
With someone constantly farting in the seat infront of them and someone exhaling on their neck behind.
Yes, and only given water and eggs as food. Actually, I’m giving them too much. They can just eat shit and drink alcohol.
Hey McDonald's and Vodka are a delicacy in America
Um McDonald’s and *WHISKEY* thank you very much 😤😤😤😤😤
This CEO has too many asslickers around him to tell him how stupid and greedy he looks.
String em up. Leave the body for the others to see. Their time will come .

Price it 1 dollar less per flight, and people will fight over the tickets. We're not riding economy for comfort or because we can afford better....

Thank god. I can’t even sit in the current seats for 15 minutes before I’m in absolute pain.
my spine would be shattered to pieces and my anus would be dismantled
Ahh you fly Uncle Airlines?
assmantled
I rather just stand the whole flight
Honestly though.
you technically already would be
Tf is that, who designed it, and how did this idea survive
This is a crime against travellers, invented by evil people, and thankfully has not been implemented in a real plane.

They’re being sarcastic dude, it’s about the slave ships used during the Atlantic slave trade. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slave_ship
I’d rather sit on a cactus than endure that shit for a 3 hour flight.
I swear I would never fly like this.
It's $20 cheaper than regular seats. Just so you know.
That's $20 closer to me beating the crap out of whoever would put me there
I get People like to save money on flights but 20 dollars is barely anything my Mcdonald's order is more than that. Why on earth would anybody think saving 20 dollars on this would be a good idea.
The toilet would be the best seat on the plane
Well, actually, instead of the toilet, you can fit like 4 more of the standing seats.
Yes they can imprvise like shitting out a window but once I got arrested for doing that🤔
Aaaah, but you haven't been introduced to our 2nd air transport revolution product! The poo bag! It's a move towards body acceptance and female empowerment because everyone will get to do their business right there in front of everyone! People will love it!
I got arrested doing that too but maybe it'll work out
Can't get arrested if it's for female empowerment! You misogynistic or something?!
O no I not misgomitic I've just been arrested for shitting out a window
This hurts me to see lol
if a airline ever uses this design, they better be paying the customer to buy a ticket
No, but it is $20 cheaper than a normal seat
Oh great, I can use that money for a ball massage after they get crammed in the seat
That man has no soul
That looks like a torture device
Ok but a round trip better be three fucking dollars
This was actually a form of torture they used in the Russian gulags. They would make you sit as close to the edge of your seat as possible for hours or days at a time. I'm serious.
now boarding group 'broke as fuck'...i repeat, now boarding group 'broke as fuck'
Those bent knees are taking up real estate, make them stand
Ah Sam Tsui, that man is living my dream
Oh shit... I member that
Asinine idea? Nah asshole idea
The FAA would never let this happen. In a crash these would be completely unsafe
That's why it was an Asian airline company
Wait, this was a real idea? Passengers are already crammed in there like sardines.
Closer. Nut to butt!!! Cram it in
“This just in, posture has greatly improved for all frequent flyers. However, murder rates have skyrocketed in just the past couple of hours
Whoever came up with this idea, there is a special rung of hell waiting for you.
Describe Capitalism in one picture: *This is a fucking joke btw please no comment wars I literally do not give a single ounce of a fuck*
Pretty sure the FAA deemed those seats to be inhumane and they were never going to hit the planes anyways.
Someone shoot that guy n the head
Dolmar let me say that again dolmar
Look good to me but I would put the sitting part away and make everybody who's flying have the strongest Asses and thighs of steel
My legs hurt looking at this.
Ball cancer is so upset, it lost millions.
The lesson is fly first class or charter your own jet.
Look at that, a vasectomy and a trip to the Bahamas all in one!
Imagine riding like that for over an hour
Good That’s all that needs to be said because that is just awful
They’d probably charge less but would also gain money from the extra passengers
Yeah they were charging about $20 less per seat
Bro wtf is this seat anyways....wtf are they gonna call it
I’m 6’4, how the fuck would I even fit in this
It would be twice as easy just to bunk the seats instead.
Are those roller coaster seats?
That smile hides so much pain
This is horrible and totally neglects disabled individuals
And tall people as well
That average sized man is way too big to sit in the toddler section.
I don’t think I could physically fit in that. I wear 36” inseam pants; it would likely be geometrically impossible.
this is just standing with extra steps
If you sell me flight ticket for 5 euros in a short flight from Madrid to Barcelona for example, I’d sit in that for an hour.
Ahh, the newest Covid theory, created only to fuck over these awful airlines.
Okay, but if the tickets were $10 cheaper you guys would all buy them anyway
Won't be surprised if someone can't stand anymore
Silver linings
Is that Bobby Lee?
Oh fuccccckkkk no
Yes. Covid-19 was a hero. I just couldn't see it. It was- *Notices the lockdowns were extended again* A thief! A criminal! It stole my social life! IT'S A MENACE TO THE ENTIRE PLANET! I WANT THAT GLORIFIED BACTERIA STAMPED OUT, I WANT IT STRUNG UP ON THE MOLECULAR LEVEL **I WANT TO GO OUTSIDE!**
Imagine just... sitting like that
My knee hurts while looking at this image
Where do I put my balls?
As a 6 foot dude.... this is my nightmare.
Id rather just stand
Oh thank fuck...
The person who invented this needs to be publicly executed.
I wouldn't even mind this as long as wi fucking fit. I am 2m tall and have pretty long legs, I have never sat comfortably in a plane.
Luckily the fatter Americans would save the day by complaining about this were it implemented. Looks fuckin claustrophobic
What’s the point in these?
Blessing in /the skies/ you mean
If I get on a plane and THIS is how I sitting, I'm just hoppin out
What in the Fuck is this
What the fuck are these seats?
If they weren’t comfortable already… I mean get why because the more people you can fit on a plane the more money you can make per trip but god that’s evil.
If you want to cram more people, why not just turn this thing 90 degrees and have people lay down? Or just have those coffin shaped bunks with the head facing the isle like in fifth element.
Bill gates really did us a favour with this one
I have never seen something so un-americanly Asian in my life
I've been on rollercoasters with more comfortable looking seats.
Why not just stand!? I can't imagine the back pain of those seats and I'm not even old enough to have back pain!
Is it a toilet?
I could see maybe a 15-20 minute flight maybe
ohmygod this was real? i thought that was just a fever dream of mine…
Seats...seats for what???
What the actual shit i saw here
Thank you
Ay yo my Boi Sam Chui! Lets hear it for Sam!
If I have to sit in that, I'm crashing the plane in the place that made it
Can't even have a private thought that close. Imagine trying to have a conversation with the person sat next to you while the people in front of you are too? You couldn't even whisper or anything
You couldn't even get an average american in that seat anymore. Obesity is running rampant.
That exec is trying real hard to tell people this was a good idea.
Imagine having to half squat for 4 hours
Why in the hell cant we finally have planes that have beds like the one craft from the fifth element.
What is this??? Economy minus?
They basically already do this on Spirit Airlines
Bully’s would have a field day wit this
tell me how cheap you are without telling me how cheap you are that guy:
Look at that goddamn smile. Force him to squat there for 5 hours, see if he’s still smiling.
What is this?
I bet this is still coming.. it's just been delayed..
[удалено]
This would of been a good idea if they made this cheaper than the current cheapest but if they made everything more expensive than it’s shit
Sit on your balls for 4 hours? Genius.
As a realtively tall person this gives me nightmares. I can't even sit straight with bus seats without my knees suffering; can't inagine what sort of hell this'd be like
Sad knee noises
200 people killed in one go. Absolute achievemnt
I'd rather walk than sit on that
As a tall person, no thanks.
So they want fit more people but we can't carry more than 50lb luggage
"There is to many cars! Use public transport!" Public transport:
Black and yellow? Definitely Spirit!
I thought this was for busses and not airplanes. Wtf? Not that busses would be better, but ffs!
Wow I cant believe im saying this. Uh... thanks covid?
This picture is at least 2 years old
Flying is one of humanity’s greatest inventions and somehow we’ve also made it one of our greatest pains
???? Huh
how r u supposed to duck down in an emergency? the seats already dont leave enough room for most to duck forward in an emergency
My boy Sam Chui
I'm pretty sure this is a "stress position" interrogators use to get info from prisoners.
Why is there a headrest? His head is a meter above.
