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. :-/

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.

How about stand-up seats?

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

This is why I fly private.

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

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 bet Ryanair have already got them on order!

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

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

Ooo.....I just cringed when I imagined what turbulence would be like in those "seats".
