just think the CAL iro now gets a row of these to sleep on. Well except for the fact that the new rest requirements eliminate the need for the iro on the 757

They'll never be approved. The center of mass is too high for the length of the base. They'll end up like the seats on the movie "Alive" during a crash.

What?! It isn't already? Mine's pretty much is numb every time I hit the first overnight. Getting kicked in the jimmy all day long kinda has that effect on those of us who are not Chuck Norris tough!

-Welcome to the industry!!

after this they will forgo the seatback and just place a bicycle seat on a post.

They still have to be able to evacuate in 90 seconds or less too. Good luck with that.

Why not forgo the bicycle seat? The concern about a high CG would be answered, as well as the needs for seat belts and seat belt extenders for oversized passengers. Safety would be improved as a results of spatial interference with rectum mounted incendiary devices as employed by the "butt bomber." No more Fruit of the Boom.

Really, the after midnight crowd at the Wall Mart could not use this type of seating. They barely waddle to their seats as is. The idea they could semi-stand for an hour while experiencing up to 2.5 times their already substantial body weight would exceed their physical endurance.

What about the number of oxygen generators and what if somebody needs a seat belt extender. WHo can fit if they need a seatbelt extender. THis company looks like an IPO ripoff on its way to the grave

How do you spell clostraphobia? ummm, yea

 

[Abernathy]

Insult to consumers. Roller Coaster seats are more comfortable. If this is what it takes to turn a profit, the government needs to fully regulate the airline industry as a public utility. Taxpayer subsidized airline travel. Way overdue.

Flash-forward 10 years. We'll all be longing for the days of a comfortable ride in an RJ.

That company's idea looks more jacked up than a USAirways SLI.

I like how they showed their passenger model sitting in the front row of their mockup. How about showing just how close that seat in front of her is?

This is a stupid, stupid idea. I'm sure Michael O'Leary is already licking his chops...

 

[Oakum_Boy]

This idea will not go over well in the US but might work in Europe if the fares are low enough. Ever ride in coach on Air France? Holy moly, they cram those suckers in there. But then again, what isn't crammed in Europe.

 

[Stukadriver]

Boarding might look something like this.

We will make sure the JCBA far exceeds the bare minimum that would allow elimination of the IRO on the 75.

If it generates more revenue for the company and that lets the company pay me more, I am all for it. I could care less how everyone fits in back. Just need to include a provision that deadheading pilots get a regular seat. deadheading FAs can ride the pony seats.
