What it's like to travel on a stand-up airplane seat

quote [ First things first: Gaetano Perugini, engineering adviser at Aviointeriors, is keen to stress that the concept's not about creating "cattle class" and cramming in as many passengers in as possible. ]

I just wrapped on a long and stressful 7-day TV production gig punctuated by a 16 hour shoot on 4 hours of sleep with a fun moment where the craft service and camera departments were yelling at me simultaneously about things out of my control and I thought nothing could get me to smile today.

I was wrong.

If you have to explain how it's not cattle class, it's cattle class.

It’s about creating cattle Individuals.

Small children are stored in the overhead bins, but it's not chicken coop class.

If you get the middle seat, it's free.

I wonder what is the crash position for that seat configuration?

Look at that lady in the thumb. Look at how small she is, but how much room she's taking up compared to the size of the seats. Imagine having that row full, seeing all these people squished and smooshed on top of each other and actually thinking, "Oh no, yeah, that looks right. We got it this time."

How can you tell how big she is from the picture?

Look at her wrists, the way her clothes hang. She's not hiding multiple little people under there. Joe Biden could easily trap like 5 of her no problem.

Maybe she's one of the aliens from Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
steele said @ 8:16pm GMT on 5th Apr
That would still make her pretty small. There's no heftiness there.

It also looks like she's missing the full compliment of fingers.
steele said @ 8:50pm GMT on 5th Apr
Jesus! They had to chop her up just to get her in there!
mechanical contrivance said @ 8:57pm GMT on 5th Apr
No, man. Relax. She's just an alien.
steele said @ 9:03pm GMT on 5th Apr
Aliens? Cattle class? I think we know where this is going.

Welcome to public transit. We're all miserable now.

airlines, reinventing personal space boundaries every day!

She wasn't even trying with the euphemisms. Someone ask her to elaborate on the difference between "cramming in as many passengers in as possible" and "reach the maximum load of passengers."
