Airplane Standing Room Only Seats

As if flying isn’t already a total pain in the ass uncomfortable enough, IHT has published a report asking if standing-room only seats on planes will fly.

“Cattle class could take on an entirely new meaning in air travel if Airbus goes through with its latest wheeze. The European plane maker is floating the idea of standing-room only at the back. Passengers in the standing section would be propped against a padded backboard and held in place with a harness.”

Funny this idea is coming from an airline that recently unveiled the world’s biggest passenger jet.

Update: The news blog contacted Airbus, which described the IHT article as a “fantastic story but not true”. Airbus is now seeking a correction to the New York Times article carried by the IHT.
