I don't even know what to say about that picture. It just looks like an awful way to sit. I'm 6 Feet 1 Inch and I wouldn't even fit in anything other than the first row of that. :P :-/

You know what? I would rather pay more for a comfortable seat. After flying back from the islands 3 years ago and a ten hour delay at departure, (sitting in those crappy benches and not being allowed to go out for some fresh air) I ended up losing two days work after arrival because my back was aching so bad. Even the flight crew has it better than passengers.

That's a great roller coaster, haha... I haven't been on one in a long time though... aerobatics are better though, haha

It's the only way to fly, right! :D I bet even a rich jockey or cowboy wouldn't put these seats in their private jets.  ;) ;D ;D

Well it's not like the pilot's seats are going to have 22 inches of leg space... those will still be relatively comfortable.

I hope these don't become the norm. Air travel on airliners is already terrible as is.

Now is the time to form a good, old-fashioned airline...

- Seats so roomy, and expensive that airplanes are never full.

-Pilots and crew paid so well that only the seasoned, ex-military need appy.

-Stewardesses so good-looking, that they only took the job hoping to meet a wealthy business man (or pilot).

-Smoking IS allowed.

-Drinks are cheap and plentiful.

-Passengers dressed as though they were going to a wedding..

I miss those days *sigh*

Eh...I prefer the original full stand up design...those just look like a nightmare, would constantly have strain on your legs trying to hold yourself up... That women in the picture just looks really happy ;D

You forgot the red carpet rolled out to the door. It's still like that for the rich people with private aircraft.
